I will never forget my horrors that clear blue Tuesday morning in Manhattan. How people rushed southward from Columbus Circle just north of Times Square and Mid-town Manhattan where I was coming out of a philosophy class. They were rushing southward for so many reasons. Curiosity, fear, terror… Out of the chaos and confusion that faithful morning came both unity and hate, simultaneously. I’ll never forget how that vast cloud of ash and debris rolled over the island, wiping away any sense of security we’ve taken for granted. Our great nation will never be the same. Our great nation will never recover no matter how many generations come and go. That day will always linger in some way within our minds. No newly built structure on that site will change anything. God bless America. God bless us all.
Signed,
One red blooded American.

I vividly remember walking to a window and just gazing out over the city. It was amazing and terrifying at the same time. I was on top of everything else I looked at and their was still 30 floors above me. A few days lager I started a new job out on long island and on 9/11 amidst all the horror, I thought about my few minutes alone on the 86fb floor. It took me two elevators to get to. The thought of being in that location on that morning still disturbs me. People who worked there for so many years now faced with the thought of dying there. I still shudder when I think about the horrors of that day. I still have so many questions that will never be answered. I still think about that space in the sky where I once stood high above the city.
Time passes, as time does. Time attempts to heal all wounds. I ironically ended up working for one of the 3 Construction companies contracted to actually do the clean up at ground zero. I was not there immediatly but did see the aftermath of that day. I will/can/would never forget that day. I knew a few people who worked in the north tower. Those I knew, got out. I wonder how many I passed in the hallways, rode in elevators with, said good morning to, took the train with, that never made it out. Lives lost instantly and those who suffered, families still mourning.
No, I will never forget 9/11.

**It's amazing how if I had posted this 7 years ago in remembrance, there would be hundreds of posts on this thread and thousands of views in just a few hours. In 24 hours there have been 10 posts.
Don't worry, the Military still carries the torch...and recognizes the lack of patriotism nowadays.
