I was hone , right across the Hudson River from the Twin Towers. My husband usually flew out of Newark every Wed. morning to travel. This particular week is the Fireman's Convention in Wildwood, NJ( not this year of the pandemic) but, he may have been on one of the hijacked planes, but wasn't traveling.
I saw the smoke and know people who lost their lives. One young fellow was just married with a six month old baby. He and his sister had been in my older children's class. My son, Bobby, was getting ready for school, his friends mother crossed home to NJ covered in soot.
Tonight the beams will shine into the sky and I can see them every year. It's a sorrowful reminder of a terrible day.
I found this a few years ago and with some new members thought it something to post again. Let's hope we can be together as this video shows us that we have it in us all to be a united country!
With all the hate manifested from politics and ideologies today, this video clip makes me so proud to be an American!
One of the most patriotic events of our time. Exceeded even the evacuation of Dunkirk which took almost a week or more This 9/11 evacuation was of 500,000 souls in 9 hours. Impossible, right? No, just watch...
