Day that will always be remembered

September 11, 2001.

Today marks the 7th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center. Mr. Bashkin (my history teacher) showed us a slideshow today in history class. Some of the pictures I have seen but some I had not. It is still eerie to see those pictures and all the loved ones that were lost. I still remember I was in Mrs. Maxwell's 8th grade english class when it happened. We were watching some movie and everyone noticed the teachers pacing up and down the halls. I will always remember that. It will be interesting in 30-40 years to see what history teachers will say about it. Thank you Nathan, and all the other soldiers out there still fighting for our safety. God Bless You.

I am glad you have such vivid memories of that day. I believe it is one day that most people can tell you exactly what they were doing and where they were when it happened.

I had just gotten out of the shower and was getting ready to go to work at High Vista. I went into the kid's bedroom and turned on the tv to check the weather. I remember standing there and watching it all unfold. I called Frank in disbelief. When the second one hit and they started to call it deliberate, I just started to cry and I cried the rest of the day. I was unable to go to work that day. Today, I cried again.
