Mark,

Thank you for starting this thread.  I can't recall a worse day in my lifetime.  We must never forget.

I regret to say that there have been a few much more sad days since. And all self inflicted.

Dan,

A very interesting, but also much too cryptic, comment.  And what would those days be?

(Thank you for taking this off the rails immediately.  You've taken the time to disagree with the original, and very precise, premise of this thread.  You at least owe us the courtesy of listing specifically what those "much more sad days" were.  Why take Mark's comments, made with the very best of intentions and make them political?).

A good thing that came out of that tragic, horrible day was the feeling of  unity of all American citizens….flags everywhere, no blue vs. red, etc. We should all remember we are all Americans, and United we stand!!! Pic of me (right) at the WTC on 9/11. I was there for training with the FDNY. Never forget!

I was helped out of Tower 1 by 2 firefighters. And now my son-in-law is a firefighter. I marvel every day at the motivation of these men and women to work at a job where they deliberately risk their lives to save others, even though they too have families and loved ones that anxiously wait for them to return home after their shifts.  It speaks volumes for the nobility and selflessness that human beings are capable of. I will never cease to be grateful to these people for what they do.

To Mark and Joe........it is my honor to now know you guys through this forum!!!!!

My heart goes out to all of the "First Responders" who attended on the fateful day, and the families of the hundred's of innocent people that were sacrificed by these terrorist morons.

It really shook me and my family here in Australia, especially as we have spent many a good three months touring the great US of A, getting to know the wonderful people that make up your country.

God bless you in America.

Every 9/11 anniversary takes me back to the beautiful fall day in DC. I remember the smoke entering our building. And how it smelled! I remember the tears of my coworkers and the panic on their faces. I remember being told evacuate but having no opportunity to leave because the traffic was so bad we were stuck there. I remember trying to call my wife on my cell but couldn’t get through. I finally got through to her by using my office phone. I remember being told to hunker down because more planes are inbound. I remember seeing one chopper after another flying up up the Potomac going as fast as possible. There are many other things I remember hampering on that terrible day. I’ll never forget!
