11 September 2011: do you still remember what you did on that day? ( Archived) (247)

Hugs back Love your post Antonia!!

yes i remember very vividly i woke up turned on the tv and saw the twin towers being struck on tv,while getting ready to go to work at my job in a grocery store.
it was a very somber day one of the quietest days ive had no one knew what to say or how to act.
there was alot of tears shed not just by our shoppers but by my fellow employees.
days later we held a memorial at our local fairground i never knew for such a small town that so many would show up.
I dont remember crying so much or how loud i and all my fellow man chanted USA! i congratulate bush for getting saddam and i congratulate obama for getting osama. i have a cousin serving in afghanistan now and i am DAMN PROUD i had a grandfather serve in the korean war in the army and i had a grandfather serve in the navy during ww2 and i am DAMN PROUD! do i remember? YES I DO GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS! and GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I just had carpal tunnel surgery and was taking a nap. The phone rang and it was my daughter saying that a plane hit the World Trade Center. I figured it was a small Cessna and would just be a little damage to the building.

I went to turn the tv on and it was 10:28, the very moment the second tower went down (the north tower). I sat there stunned and thought I was looking at a hollywood movie. I didn't even shed a tear in that moment. When I realized what happened is when I sobbed to the point that I couldn't stop. I don't live too far from where the towers were. It felt like it all happened in my backyard.

Sometime later I and two other people went to Ground Zero. We stood in line for hours waiting for our turn to get up to the spot where two skyscrapers once stood. It was unbelievable what we saw. The line of people curved around buildings, up streets and then finally to the viewing stand. As we waited in line, firemen were walking to the scene. I stuck my hand out and shook hands with one of them and broke down into tears as I thanked him for his work.

Now they are building The Freedom Tower which will be 1,776 feet high in recognition of our freedom in the year 1776. Each spot of land where the buildings once stood has a Reflecting Pool with a waterfall. There will be 2,983 planted trees for each one who died in the Memorial Park which is where the Museum is that holds the fire engine that was nearly destroyed and many others things from Ground Zero.

All last week and this week National Geographic has had programs called Rebuilding The Towers. The programs show how the ironworkers are taking extra measure with fireproofing and extra sturdy concrete to protect the new building called Freedom Tower which will be dedicated this Sunday, the 10 year anniversary of this horrific disaster brought on all people..

Driving home from work, and when I heard and saw I new I'll be going to war soon cos America will go to war and I did go to war cos of it - - - - My first thought was - - - Crap, that's it, the world will end as we know it - - - -and it did - - - -
