Today is not only a day to remember those innocent lives that were lost in the planes, Pentagon and WTC, but those who have fought so valiantly for them and us since then.

Very touching and powerful, Christine.
She's definately left holes in the hearts of many.
May the memory of this beautiful person and everyone else who perished so tragically that day be forever preserved.

I still get chills whenever I think about this day. I can only hope and pray that we never have to experience a day like this again.

It's hard to believe that 7 years have passed since that horrible day. A big thank you to all the people who helped me get through it. I was so lucky to get good news that day. I will always remember those that did not......... :(
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways - Pinot Noir in one hand - chocolate in the other - body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO"

I remember this day very well - like the rest of us. It was a beautiful day here in Pittsburgh...I also remember hearing about the Shanksville plane, rumor was at first on our stations it was coming towards Pittsburgh.

Where I worked we were direct flight pattern for take off at the airport.

I'll never forget....

I had just joined BN a few days before and was worried about all my new friends.

It was my first day in a new job at work.....and I stood in a conference room watching the horor with a bunch of strangers....

Remembering my friends in the Pentagon.... those who survived and those who did not.... especially my friends and shipmates in the Navy Command Center...

Remembering the casualties at the World Trade Center...

Remembering the airline passsengers in a field in Shanksville, PA....

Remembering the tens of thousands of heroes from that day...



Remembering the phone calls received before noon: "We're being mobilized. If you don't have a will and a power of attorney get them done immediately."






Remembering the ongoing need to avenge their deaths and bring the perpetrators to justice.

Will never forget..............When the Springsteen album "The Rising" was released and the reflections to 9-11 were put in song by Springsteen, many of the songs hit me like a ton of bricks. It seems appropriate for me to listen to this CD on this day to once again feel the emotions from that fateful day. Here are the lyrics to one of the songs on the album, "Empty Sky"!

Bruce Springsteen - Empty sky Lyrics
Album: The Rising

I woke up this morning
I could barely breathe
Just an empty impression
In the bed where you used to be
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky

Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

Blood on the streets
Blood flowin' down
I hear the blood of my blood
Cryin' from the ground

Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky

On the plains of Jordan
I cut my bow from the wood
Of this tree of evil

Of this tree of good
I want a kiss from your lips
I want an eye for an eye
I woke up this morning to the empty sky

Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
Empty sky, empty sky
I woke up this morning to an empty sky
