On the 6th Anniversary of 9/11....

[Vinnie's Mom]

I would just like to say that as each year passes the terror attacks become a distant reality to us as we become farther removed. Let us not forget the tragedy of 9/11/01. Some of us may have lost friends or family members and for that I am so deeply sorry. This was an attack on every citizen of this country and with it the world was forever changed. Please everyone be safe today and take at least one moment to remember....GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

not only is 9-11-01 depressing for me and our country but 9-11-06 was the most horrible day for me. a baby that i babysat for died last year on this date at my house from pulminary adema caused by strept. he was 4 months old and soooo sweet, i miss him. i have been dreading this day for a year because 9-11-01 is always on the news i can never forget that dredded date. i think the one thing that keeps me sane is lacey, hubby let me get her even though we already had 4 dogs and totally broke i needed her to make me get better. i dont know what i would do without her today. before i got her i was lost even though i have a husband that helped as much as he could and kids that tried to help, nothing seemed to make me start to get better until i got lacey. so for today i pray for everyone to be safe and happy and to remember loved ones that have died. remembering is hard to do when you do and dont want to remember ....

9 - 11 - 01 is a day I will remember as long as I live. My heart goes out to all that lost loved ones, to those that are still afraid, to those that still grieve because of an unimaginable event that changed the world forever.
Hugs,
Lauren

It's raining here in PA, about 40 minutes from the final resting place of Flight 93.

I'll never forget 9/11/01. I've never felt such absolute helplessness in my life.

I often think about the people who lost their lives and how the ones they left behind will never be the same.

God bless America. United we shall stand against the evil some can think of and act on!

Oh my gosh, that is just terrible I am sooo sorry that this happened. This must be an EXTREMELY hard day for you also

That little Yorkie in the picture you posted is soooo CUTE. Geez, almost the spitting image of my little Stedman! WOW!!!

Today in History we watched a video on 9/11. No matter how many times we see pictures of the terrorists, or we see the burning buildings, it still feels like you're just hearing the news for the first time.

We had a full minute of silence today in school. I'm used to the kids I'm with being immature and talking through the whole moment. But today everyone was totally silent and you could hear a pin drop.

A woman my mom used to work with (before my mom retired) lost a brother in the towers. They never found him. I can't imagine how hard it is -- no matter where she turns on the anniversaries there are pictures of the planes and the towers burning. It hurts me to think about how they all feel.

Excellent response, Megan. Glad to hear your school acknowledged this historic day. I believe it will be dimmer as each year progresses, but never forgotten. Everyone remembers exactly where they were on September 11, similar to President Kennedy's assassination.

We also had a minute of silence at my school today and flags flew at half mass.....for those of us who have lived through it, we will always remember and never forget...for those who didn't loose loved ones, please never forget !!!!!

Those are two days that I remember so vividly!! I will never, ever, as long as I live forget a single detail and all the days following! I wish everyone would remember and treat everyone as kindly as they did following these tragedies.

Yes it is a day we will have etched in our memory. So glad your school took the time to remember Megan

GODBLESS AMERICA

of anything else in my life time that was as impactful....in a negative way. I will NEVER forget the feeling of helplessness and panic.....kinda of like trying to stop an earthquake......the pain that the families felt....


I think of it almost everyday.
