    I took this when I was at ground zero over summer.

    I remember this whole day. I was in 2nd grade and we were mid math lesson. They came over the intercom and announced for everyone to watch the news. Later that day they had everyone in the elementary schools middle school and high school meet at the football field, 6,000 people came there that day.
    I didn't understand then but now I know how tragic it was.
    Never forget.

    I was in grad school at my graduate assistant job. I remember checking the news on CNN's cite, as usual, and saw a plane had crashed into the WTC. I just figured it was a Cesna or something - but the page wouldn't load up and then CNN crashed. At that point, they turned on the TV in the lobby...and well, you all know what happened.

    Here's to those who ran up.
    Here's to those who stormed the plane.
    Here's to all who died that day.

    I remember the phone ringing while I was getting ready for school and it was Mum calling to tell my brother to wake my dad up and turn on the news. Mum was driving to work, and heard it on the radio. This was before ipods and droids. She always listened to a talk show before work and thought they were joking but they weren't cuz it was on every channel. I wasn't aware of it until I was at school during 2nd period (I was in 7th grade) in Ms. Miller's world history class. That's when there was an announcement about it in the PA system. That's the only thing I remember about this horrible day.

    One of the things I remember clearest is the sound outside. Once the airplanes were all grounded. For the first time, I became aware of the constant background noise the jets make ... because it wasn't there anymore. That drove it home for me more than everything else. The eery silence.

    It was my 22nd birthday. I was senior in college and getting ready to head to class that morning. The TV was on like it always was. I walked through the living room and saw the first plane hit. I was wondering why they were playing a movie like that so early in the morning. Then the second plane hit and I realized it was real. I couldn't turn away. I watched the coverage all day. Skipped classes and work. Watched the story unfold as another plane hit the Pentagon and the heros that took the plane back in Pennsylvania. So much tragedy that day, and so many heros that stood up for those around them and our country.

    Never forget. Never forget the heros, the normal people leading normal lives, that stepped up that day. Never forget the courageous folks who lost their lives trying to save others. Never forget the innocent victims in NYC and the Pentagon who lost their lives and never knew why. Never forget.

    I was in 9th grade sitting on my desk in English class waiting for it to begin. An announcement came over the intercoms to turn on the tv in the room and watch the news. We turned it on just in time to see the first tower collapse... It was an unbelievable sight, and I can still remember the exact emotions that were going through my head. Disbelief, shock, sadness and others that are hard to name. I will never forget the people who lost their lives that day and the brave souls who went rushing into the buildings when everyone else was trying to rush out.

    Even though I was only 6 yrs old I remember everythingthat day. I was in my kindergarten class and my father came to pick me up. I remember exactly what was in his truck, a chain saw and some papers on the floor. I remember where he was parked. There wasn't a cloud in the sky that day. I remember going to get my sister at pre-k and then meeting my mom at home and watching TV as the first tower fell. My parents started crying and the whole neighborhood was silent. Not a car driving, you could hear a pin drop. I lived on long island at the time so all of the police were heading to the city. Then the second tower went down and reports of a plane hitting the Pentagon. Then the plane going down in rural Pennsylvania. I will never forget the tragic events of that day.

    God bless all the families who lost loved ones on that tragic day 11 years ago. Gone but never forgotten
