I was in school, 8th grade. I was told my dad was there to pick me up and i was so excited, i didnt even know what was going on. I had no concept of “terrorists” when i turned on the television at home and saw that every channel was about a building that was on fire. I didn’t know what was going on, or who did this, or why it was such a big deal. I was just a kid. upset that my favorite channel was interrupted the whole day with a news story. It sounds conceited, i know, but like i said i was a kid. I didn’t know there was any attack going on, or that our world was going to be forever changed by this tragic event that caused so many innocent people to lose their kids…their husbands/wives…their parents…their lives. This world will never be the same thanks to that one day when everything went wrong.

I was driving a big truck and was unloading in Philadelphia, Pa when my mom called to check on me, she had told me a plane had hit one of twin towers in New Yourk. I was still on the phone with her when the second plane hit the second tower . I made it to reload and hooked up my satellite tv and started watching CNN and watched the last tower fall. They said a plane had hit the Pentagon and a fourth plane was missing. They were talking about the possibility that it might be heading to the White House, Disney World or a very populated area. The load I was loading happened to be going down around Orlando, Fl. On the way down I was watching the skies watching for a plane heading south. The am/fm radio was talking about all the planes have been grounded. About half way to Florida, the radio was talking about the missing plane had crashed in Pennsylvania and there were no survivors. Later on the news started saying the passengers tried to regain control of the plane and it went down. In my opinion, every single person on that plane are heros. They all sacreficed their lives to save possibly thousand of other lives!!!!

I remember that day very well I had just come off my shift as a Security Officer at a weapons station in California at 5:30 that morning. I had just gotten to sleep good when my wife came in the room saying you have got to come see this I walked in the living room just in time to see the second plane crash. I told my wife there is no sense in me going back to sleep because I knew it would not be long before I was called back. To my surprise it was 12 hours later before the order was given for total recall at which time I returned to work where I was on duty for the next 36 hours before we were aloud to go home to our families. Would I do it again ABSOLUTELY this is my country and I will not stand for that kind of treatment. To all the heroes on that date THANK YOU.

Honestly, I was only about 3 years old, so I don’t remember anything, but my heart goes out to all the people effected by that tragedy.

I was greeting students as they got out of their cars at Perdido Elementary when I heard about the first plane. Shortly after the second plane hit tower 2, I had my 8th grade students in our library and we watched the events as they were reported. I remember one of my students saying he wished he could go to church, because he had never been before and felt like that was the only safe place he could go.

My oldest son was a junior at the university of Southern Mississippi and was in the library when the terrorist hit. As soon as the second plane hit, many of the muslim students jumped up on tables and began cheering. My son and several others were blocked or restrained by school officials from ‘causing a riot’. This single even had a lot to do with his determination to join the Marine Corps.

I was living in another state, working in a high security area when we were told to go to our largest conference room. The big screen monitor was on, showing the horror taking place. We were then told to go home and stay there. Do not go out and do not answer the phone or any questions anyone might ask you until you receive an email from the company. So I went home and watched TV, knowing I had a couple of friends in the 2nd building. It was awful and the feeling of helplessness was overwhelming.
