[lily_24]

I remeber my teacher tell us that in every generation there would be something big that would happend. Everything was going crazy.  I was in 10th grade in my sculpture class when we heard the news of what had happen.  We were all scared and wanted to leave home.  School closed at a regular time. 

The one memorie i have of the twin towers is that i had gone to NY about 2 months before and i took these pictures of  the towers when my family and i were on a boat to the statue of liberty.  I still have those pictures.  It was a sunny day and thats how i will remember them.

I remember my first "where were you at when..." moment was when Ronald Reagan was shot.  I was in middle school and the principal came over the loud speaker and said that the president had been shot.

On Sept. 11, I was in the dentist's chair having my tooth prepped for a crown.  Under the haze of the drugs, I thought I was just imagining what was being said over the radio.

I was on my way to work, driving and listening to the radio.  I remember the day had beautiful blue skies.  I heard on the radio that a plane had hit one of the twin towers.  I actually thought it was a small commuter plane.  Then I got to work and everyone was running around trying to find a tv and trying to get info on the internet.  They told me that a plane had hit the twin towers, I said I know I just heard it on the radio.  They said no, I mean another plane had hit the second tower.  And all i thought was Oh My GOD.

I lived in Hawaii at the time, so it was still nighttime when it all went down. I got up to go to work and turned on the tv. I thought it was a movie on, but then I realized it was on ESPN. I questioned why there was a movie on ESPN, but then realized it was on every channel. I lived on the Marine Corp Base, so the entire base was on lockdown. Crap pretty much hit the fan.

I was sitting in a motel room getting ready to go into work when I got a phone call from my daughter who told me to turn on the TV to CNN because something bad was going on.  I did an we both watched it while we were on the phone.  Got a page from work telling me not to come in so we just spent the entire morning watching it on TV and linked together by a phone line.

I was in the den doing some paperwork when my wife came downstairs and told me to "turn the channel quickly!" It's a day Ill never forget.

I was taking my son to the school bus stop and heard something about a plane hitting one of the towers on the radio. I came home and turned on the TV just in time to witness the 2nd plane go into the other tower. Needless to say, I was glued to the TV all day. All this took place just 3 weeks after my husband passed away.

i was on FTX (Field Training Excersize) during Basic Training for the Army. its where we went camping for three days and had simulated war senarios. when the Drill sergeants told us i assumed they were just putting us in the right mindset for the war games. but that night at formation the captain showed up and had everyone who had family members that worked at the towers gather to use his personal cell phone to call and check on them. that's when i knew it was for real. six months later i shipped out for a tour of duty in Afghanistan...

I was getting ready for work and watching Good Morning America at the same time and I saw it when it was happening.  A week before that I had a dream of a plane flying into a building.  I used to have a lot of dreams about airplanes or spaceships crashing.

I was sitting in my history class. Needless to say we did not accomplish that much in school for the rest of the day.

I was in school. The bell rang and most students were still in the middle of changing classes. I sat down in science class, waiting for it to begin when the teacher walked in and turned on the television to the news.

I was asleep when I woke up to someone telling me they just had a phone call, I didn't believe it until we turned on the news.
