I was in my K-2 Classsroom at PJA. Another teacher came running to my classroom door and told me to turn on the tv. My children and I were horrified seeing the 1st tower on fire. While we were watching, we saw the 2nd plane fly into the 2nd tower. I knew immediately that it was not an accident, but an attack. I turned the tv off. My little ones were all crying. We talked and prayed. I especially remember one of my children whose daddy was a Navy pilot. He kept asking me if it was his daddy and I continued to assure him that it was not. It was a very sad and disturbing time for my students and me. I have never forgotten. It breaks my heart that many Americans have forgotten based on what covers the news today.

I was attending a vocational class at George Stone and the instructor had the television on showing the second tower coming down. A sad day indeed.

I was in Canada goose hunting with 3 guys from Pensacola, fl.
We were in the field shooting geese when the farmer came out on
his 4 wheeler and said, the U S is under attach. We left everything
in field, went back to motel and watch the news and replays showing
the planes hitting the towers. Took us 3 days to get back into the U S
on account of locked down borders.

Stationed aboard USS Mount Whitney, Norfolk Naval Station. I remember at least 3 aircraft carriers in port, a couple of large deck amphibious ships, along with everything else. By 5 pm, Norfolk Naval Station was a ghost town. Every ship that was able to get underway was gone.
