I thought it was a terrible accident although I remember wondering what kind of idiot couldn't see a building right in front of them! When the second plane hit I knew it was no accident. I was glad my girls were home with me. I am proud of America, I remeber how touched I was by the condolences from other countries, especially Britain. I don't think anyone can forget that day.Kathleen Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11551093555973581448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-49368383582998134542009-09-12T09:06:30.828-04:002009-09-12T09:06:30.828-04:00I WILL never forget.

So moving.
You can read ...Beautiful account, Joni. So moving.<br /><br />You can read my account of that day on my blog, but I really wanted to touch on what Sharon said about her young son being stationed in NY. One of the things that stands out in Jay's mind - his office is next to the White House - is that when he went down to Federal Square the first thing he saw was a young Marine - only about 19. Bless his heart, he was holding a machine gun just about as big as he was and he was so scared he was trembling. Just a child. I am sure he became a man that day.Kathie Truitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04112414357583203795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-51816744877134341652009-09-11T11:30:01.193-04:002009-09-11T11:30:01.193-04:00I was at work, listening to the Christian radio st...I was at work, listening to the Christian radio station that my employer broadcasted over the speakers through the phone speaker by my register when it happened. It was a quiet morning with few customers. I stood there & listened and called some of my co-workers to gather around the pole with the phone. Later that day, my son had a school soccer game on Mackinac Island, so I took my mother, daughter, her friend and the Chineese foreign exchange student who was staying with my mom to it. There was tight security on the Mackinac Bridge as that was thought to be a target. I remember feeling uneasy being near it and a sigh of releif as the ferry boat pulled away. We listened to the radio all the way there and back. I also remeber seeing the gas prices go up at stations along the 1-1/2 hour drive up & then back & being astonished! It was a few days before I was able to watch a t.v. with the views and re-enactments of the event. I sat watching on my day off for a few hours. It broke my heart to see the events un-fold. The prayer services attended by Preident Bush greatly moved me. The Sunday after, I remember seeing people in church who had never been, or ones who hadn't attended in a long time; it really brought people together for awhile!Sister Number Fivenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-8566865000884870012009-09-11T11:16:09.992-04:002009-09-11T11:16:09.992-04:00Thanks for sharing what your thoughts were 8 years...Thanks for sharing what your thoughts were 8 years ago, Joni. This morning, I watched a replay of some of the coverag from that day and could not help but shed tears.<br /><br />On that day, I was home with my two toddlers playing...preparing for a meeting of our little homeschool preschool group to be held that afternoon. One of my friends from that group called to let me know the meeting was cancelled due to the events of the day. I had no idea what she was talking about. I remember it being hard to pull myself away from the news coverage...trying to process what had happened and what would happen next.<br /><br />Prayers for all...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10228962352609961201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-77213036581025983572009-09-11T11:15:17.633-04:002009-09-11T11:15:17.633-04:00Joni,

Those who lived through Pearl Harbor, those who lived through the attack on Fort Sumter in 1861 that split our country, JFK's assasination and other presidents before him. May our generation never forget this.morninglorycottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04464399620565474031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-88739685069401225622009-09-11T10:22:57.722-04:002009-09-11T10:22:57.722-04:00I will never forget how it felt that day to see my...I will never forget how it felt that day to see my homeland under attack!

My first reactions was that it was a commercial about a movie and then the reality hit. Our son was stationed just 55 miles from NYC and was immediately armed and on guard duty. I couldn't pull myself away from the tv for days or maybe it was weeks - and, yes, I was constantly looking at the skies when I heard a plane. God forgive us if we ever forget about this day.

I was in my kitchen getting lunch ready when my Hubby called from work. I turned on the tv and remember...just standing there in shock and praying my little 5 yr old girl did not see what I had just seen. A friend of mine worked in that building, so fear covered me for her life. I prayed and cried and prayed some more.Sit A Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365053673515336007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1606161041749648789.post-48680734672517225022009-09-11T08:25:09.451-04:002009-09-11T08:25:09.451-04:00I was at work, sitting at my desk, when a coworker...I was at work, sitting at my desk, when a coworker got a phone call, and shouted out the news about the first plane strike. I stood up and said out loud "on purpose?"
