I'll never forget after our first formation and Company 1st SGT informed us not to call home or speak to relatives about war
as soon as we got dismissed ..... it sounded like out of " Starship Troopers " .... " We're going to war "

We were getting ready to go to the range for alittle live fire action. Instead I spent the next 12 hours next to the Main Gate at Camp Pendleton behind a 240G with orders to shoot anything that doesn't stop.SEREMAKER wrote:

I was two days short of a full year in the Army when this happened. Had just arrived at my first (and last) duty station a week or two previously. It was a Tuesday and we had a PT test that morning. We had just finished and were in the process of getting weighed and taped when everyones beeper and/or cell phone started going off at the exact same time. Someone then said that the WTC had been hit. We were all released back to our rooms to await further instructions so we all booked it to the nearest TV and sat watching for hours as the coverage unfolded. There was no work that day or the next. From that day forward there was 24/7 security at all of the gates at Fort Hood and at all military bases across the country.
While I disagree strongly with the way this tragedy was used to push two serious breaches in ethics, the PATRIOT Act and the war in Iraq, we must separate the actual tragedy from the politics that marred it afterwards. Celebrate the people that died that day, especially those heroes that crashed their own plane in Pennsylvania and saved countless lives and those responders that ran into a burning and ultimately crashing pair of buildings and sacrificed their own lives "So that others may live".

I was in NYC a couple years ago to see the city. Our hotel was right next to where the WTC towers were. It wasn't until the second day there that I realized that was where the WTC towers once stood. Of course, I remember where I was that day. It's safe to say that day changed the whole world. The world will never be the same.
"God damn it" was all that you said. Once you elaborated and made a contribution I allowed your comment. If you have any further questions PM me.Superior Mind wrote:

I was 9, remember it perfectly.
everything i write is a ramble and should not be taken seriously.... seriously. ♥
This. Woke up, mum told me to watch the news. Saw planes enter building. Stood there with an expression of 'wut'. Didnt really know the full extent of the damage at the time, but later on it grows, and grows, and grows until you just imaging what it'd feel like being there that day. The whole school was quiet that day, even for Australia. There was this one kid who didnt know what happened since she didnt see the news.tazz. wrote:

I was 21, came home from school and turned on the TV, which I always did. For some reason I had left BBC World on the night before, probably because there had been nothing on late at night except for that 24h newsfeed channel. When the picture came up, one of the towers had already been hit and I thought to myself "is that NYC, what the hell?". Immediately after that, the other building was hit and I saw the text "Live" in the upper right corner of the TV screen. I didn't do anything else than flip through news channels that day, too shocked to do anything else.
I need around tree fiddy.
I remember this; I was dinning at home in Montreal, Canada and say this on CNN.
RIP to the victims. Still yet to this day I have major trouble believing the official story.

Seeing how young certain members here were--and how old they are now--brings home just how long it's been and how much has happened since. Yet it still seems like it happened yesterday. The clarity of everything that was going on around me when it happened.
Much of what happened later that day and in the weeks to follow is a bit of a blur, but the moment(s) immediately associated with the event are crystal clear. And probably always will be.

Was at work across the TV section. Ppl were stopping in front of the TV's and we went over to check out from the cell phone section what's going on and saw smoke coming out of the other tower. Soon after a co-worker says the other tower was now hit. Everything stopped and we were just watching the TV's. Had all the possible news channels on that were visible. All people coming or going from the parking garage or just otherwise passing through halted. The basement dept was completely full of people and you could've heard a pin drop if the TV's had been on mute. I felt physically ill since I had been there 6 months earlier watching the view from up there. Sadly we didn't take much pics from up there.
Rest In Peace
I find all this really odd, yes it was shock when it happened yes people died sadly. I just find it spits in the face of those who did die/ effected by what happened cause they can't find Osama, surely by now they would have. Anyone get where I'm coming from ?
They may have not found Osama, but quite alot of the other major players have been nabbed. Perhaps neglecting Afghanistan after 2 years and going for Iraq was a spit in the face though.Chorcai wrote:

Same for me, its odd how that happens isn't it.Sydney wrote:
It's strangely true, I was 10 years old back then and all I knew about it back then was that some buildings somewhere in the US were falling down.
And yet I remember exactly where I was when it happened.

Just think, if it was a sovereign nation - say Russia or China that did it - most of us wouldn't be alive right now...
