With today being the anniversary of 911 its a time to reflect back as a Nation. There are some that lived though 911 being there when it happened, our soldiers who are currently fighting so that we never have to go though that again. There is also the families who are still mourning the loss of a loved one who either died during 911, was a victim of 911 or a family of a fallen solider.

So I though this would be a place to remember what you were doing when it happened, your feelings and any tribute you would like to make.

For me personally I remember that I had just dropped off my two younger children at preschool and my oldest at kindergarten. I was in my van on my way to Walmart when the first plane hit. I had a conversion van that had a TV in it and I would often listen to the TV (not watch) as I drove. I was listening to The Today Show. The first plane hit and I remember thinking what a freak accident. The second plane hit and I remember thinking OMG this is no accident. I sat in Walmarts parking lot watching my tv and just in shock. I called my mom on the phone and at the time they were in the ocean in the Keys fishing with friends. One of their friends was a guy name Dan, his brother was a fire fighter who lost his life that day. My good friend Eve called me she was hysterical on the phone. Her sister was a NYC cop. When the first building collapsed she was there and on the phone with Eve. Eve said she was crying telling her what she saw. When the second building when down Eve said she heard her scream and the phone went dead. She lived but it was probably a good 6-7 hours before we knew that. That day changed our Country. God bless our soldiers who are there to protect it. My thoughts and prayers for families who have heavy hearts today.
