| | Thank you all. It's a solemn day here in D.C. It's good to have more real info this year about what happened and how it came together and happened- like so many Americans, I am reading the 9/11 Commission Report. Very interesting reading. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| My thoughts are with everyone on this day. A colleague lost his cousin and wife on that day, she popped into his office on an off chance, had never done it before. They left 2 young children. I remember being at work when the news hit, and we all spent the rest of the day trawling the internet for news, mainly due to disbelief.
I will never forget that day, and I continue to remember every time a new act of terror hits anywhere in the world, so my thoughts are with anyone who has suffered or lost due to an act of terrorism. May peace be with us all........ | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| | Can't believe it is 3 years. We were in Marbella the day it happened and we just sat glued to the Spanish TV trying to make some sense of it all....still trying. |

Quite right, they will never be forgotten.
My poor old dad feels quite bad now about this day as it's his birthday and he feels guilty celebrating when it's a day for remembering all those dead.

My dad's birthday is also on the 11th (still gotta call him). Being a native New Yorker, I don't think he will ever celebrate his birthday again. |

God Bless all!
I love New York to, although only did the top of the Empire State Building, have not been there since 1999, so bet the difference in the skyline is very obvious. |

| I was in Canada when the planes hit. I'm a pilot myself and we arrived in Ottawa the previous evening on a layover. Another crew took the aircraft out at around 6am so we were there without a means go get home. Like the rest of the world I watched the horror live on TV. I don't think I turned it off all day. On 9/12 I went for a walk. I came across the US Embassy in downtown Ottawa. Thats when the emotion really hit me. The walls of the compound were covered with flags, flowers, teddy bears, pictures..... It was so sad. I lined up and signed the book that was being sent to New York.
During the following months I flew many trips in and out of La Guardia. The site was still smoking two weeks later.
Now we have reinforced doors, locks, security up the ying yang, pat downs, armed sky marshalls, crazy wars that I'll debate on a different forum. But I often think about that wall in Ottowa. All political barriers were down for a while and we morned those innocent folks who were just at work.
I think that's when I truly became a US Citizen. |

| I've just been clearing out my cupboards today and came across the Daily Mail for the dtaes 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th of September 2001. The scenes on the front covers still made me well up inside even after this many years. I have kept the papers to show to my grandchildren (if any ever materialise.
