Thank you for posting. My husband was a first responder (NYPD sergeant) on this day and it is amazing how raw it still is. We have moved South to raise our triplets born after 9/11, yes I said TRIPLETS!! They are 9 now and we have not been back to see the construction. THANK YOU for posting this remembrance but also these pics. My husband has spoken at many schools. He does acknowledge (through tears) the devastation but focusses on the good in the remembrance of that day.I only mention this because when speaking to your own children it may help all of you. The children seem to respond to his message that they were able to safely evacuate 12,000 people that day out of the buildings, that the NYers in those buildings saved each other by being orderly in evacuating and helped each other, how the country came together when the terrorists tried to break us apart, and how on Sept 12th everyone was a little kinder to each other. God Bless America

I’m from Canada, and I too remember where I was and what I was doing at the exact moment I heard the news about the towers. We may be a separate country but we felt we were going through it with you, as I’m sure people from all around the world did. You are proud to be an American, and we are proud to be your neighbour.

When I’m there I can’t bring myself to visit the site. We have friends that were living there at the time – it was days before we found out that they were okay. For those that lost loved ones my heart aches. I pray we never forget.

I’ve never forgotten that day
We watched television
My blood froze
I cried so much for innocent people
