@sidsmom Thank you. I have a feeling the weather is going to take top priority on the news but we certainly can remember in our own ways.

No matter how much time goes by just reading or hearing "Lets Roll" gives me chills, sadness, and such pride in my fellow man. May 9/11 always be in our hearts and minds.

Becky you are so correct no matter what I am doing I can remember exactly what I was doing when the news came on the TV. Also remember who I called on the phone first to make sure they turned on their TV. Definatly remember I never went to bed that night watched the TV constantly.

Tough day for Americans....hard to believe it's been 16 years...my heart aches every year at this time.

Take time every day to enjoy where you are without a need to fix it

I will never forget that tragic day. I worked at a school across the river from Manhatten and could see the horror as it happened. I was numb and devastated , we all were. I cried daily every time I saw people on the news who had lost someone or were looking for loved ones. It was beyond sadness and such an assault on our country..

I remember going to the Waldorf Astoria, a famous hotel at Manhattan, weeks after. As I sat in the lobby waiting for a friend, I could hear the sorrowful tone of bagpipes at St.Patrick's Church as another victim's funeral was held. The tears started again.

We must never forget and we must make it a part of every student's history lesson.
