I was 4 years old and I was at preschool but had to go home early because of the attacks. I remember going home with my parents and saw them watching the news with the planes hitting the towers and I screamed at them "Turn that movie off! It's scary!" Then I went to my legos and built two towers.
My parents got me building the towers all on video lol.
I remember going to NY 4 years later and seeing two HUGE empty holes and I didn't know what it was. But as I got older and learned about 9-11 I realized that those holes were ground zero.
God bless all those who lost their life and their families. RIP <3

I'd just moved into a new student house, and didn't have a tv set up yet........one of the guys I lived with heard it on the radio......we drove over to my Dads to see what was going on......
I also saw Ground Zero when I visited New York a few years back. There's a plaque of the skyline at the top of the Empire State Building, with dotted lines for the twin towers. Terrible stuff......God bless everyone.

I was in my fourth grade class. I remember everyone being picked up from school. They didnt allow us to watch the television, so we didnt know what was going on. by the end of the school day, only myself and two other friends were left in the class. When I got home, I came into the living room and saw my mom watching the news. I couldnt understand what was going on, until they showed the towers collapsing.. I was a little kid so I could grasp the extent of the attack, but now thinking about it and watching all the shows on Discovery Channel and the Science channel, listening to the stories of people who were affected, its just unbelievable.
May all the people who passed on that day, rest in peace. And to the families and friends affected by the attack, everyone is with you.

I can't remember much but I remember watching cartoons that morning while getting ready for school. My parents where at work and I went to school like any normal day. I can't even remember any teachers acting out of the ordinary but when I got home my parents and I watched the news and saw what happened. I didn't really react to it because I didn't understand what happened. Well over time I started realizing how tragic and horrible that day was and how it impacted us as Americans since. My heart goes out to all the families and friends that lost a loved one that day.

I was only eight years old.
Woke up early to do what I normally do, eat a bowl of maple and brown sugar oatmeal while watching Rollie Pollie Ollie or some other cartoon. Instead, all of the channels were stuck on the repeating video of the towers until there was an update each time. I remember my mom, awestruck over what had happened. I don't remember anyone crying, I didn't really pay attention to that... nor did I really understand the impact of what happened at the time, I was in 3rd grade, but throughout the day I started to realize what had happened.

i understand hate, and my family would rather let me move on and always appreciate their life they had, and not mourn for their death... Hate is a hard topic for those people who think its valid to hate.... its true i dont have a family member that was killed by this day... but what im saying is the people take their hate to other "certain people" that really arent the cause....
they direct their hate to the wrong people... i have no problem when you hate an evil person or a group but when you generlize to everyone than thats my problem

I remember that day like yesterday
In my 40's getting ready for work. Turned on the tv, it didn't make sense, what an awful movie I thought. I wish it had been.
I cried this morning at our loss, the men, women and children who suffered directly have been so strong to endure and continue with life. My heart goes out to those who no longer have that opportunity.
It is an honor and a priviledge to live in this great country of ours. Regardless of political, religious or ethnic background we are Americans and are a proud Country. I am proud to have served in our United States Navy

P.S. it is Krunchs 1 year hatch day, so I have something else to honor as well
