Eleven years later.

I still remember what I did this day eleven years ago, where I was when I had heard the news, and what I did for the rest of the day. I still remember how shocked I was; actually, I am still shocked, because I just can't understand the minds of the people behind the attack

I can remember that day in nearly every detail. Such a shock, and yes, very hard to understand people who take any ideology, whether nationalism or religion or whatever, to such extremes that it produces actions such as that.

All of us can remember, and I am not surprised...

I was at work early when the two planes had hit the World Trade Centers, and as soon as the Pentagon was hit, the only other girl in the office and myself ran out of there and drove home. Who knew what would be the next building hit? San Diego is home to a portion of the Pacific Fleet, and would (presumably) be a target. About a half hour after I got home I called the office, where a few folks had by then come in, and told them what I was seeing on TV. Later that morning, all the high rise buildings in San Diego were evacuated. I spent the whole day in front of the TV with my mom, and that whole night wide awake because I kept thinking about people falling (or jumping) out of those buildings.

Let's all hold hands today, across the miles, and channel our love and hope around the world.

So beautifully said.

It was definitely one of those days that will stay in the mind forever.

[ellynn_ithilwen]

Yes, absolutely.
