Sept11 - Topic 8

streets, no matter who we are today we must not forget those whose only crime that day was to get up and try to get to work on time. What 09/11 means to me today is that my wonderful grandchildren will never get to hug and kiss their aunt, they will be missing her passion, her love, and her thoughtfulness, everything that was beautiful about Maria. They would have want for nothing because she would have always been there for them. Elsie Cintron-Rosado mother of Maria I Ramirez.

Not a day goes by, I don't think and pray for the 9/11 victims, and the hope for peace and understanding. I just retired from United Airlines, and I relive my workday of Sept.11th. and each incident as it happened. I don't think anyone can forget where they were on that day, just like when President Kennedy was assassinated. Time is precious.

September 11th is the darkest day of the whole year, I remember all the innocent people who lost their lifes because of hate. As every year I'll go working dressed in black, just because I need it. All my love to the families and friends of the victims.

9/11 is a reminder each day that we are not promised tomorrow. Each day needs to be lived as if it were our last but plan for tomorrow. We didn't lose a loved one in the Towers that day but we lost a beautiful husband and father. He was a firefighter for Marysville FD. I sat with him that day in Chula Vista, CA while he fought his battle with cancer. We had just crossed the boarder of Mexico monday morning after attempting alternative treatment when nothing else worked. Gods timing is...

I am a permanent resident of Greensboro, NC- I moved here in February 2002 after being in New York to live through the 9/11 attacks. I will never forget that day… It was ironic that day I didn't go to work downtown Manhattan because I had some errands that had to be done. That morning I drove my daughter to school since I was off from work, I dropped of my rent check- which was late (smile), and I went to the supermarket. I was in Western Beef in the Bronx on 149th Street, I heard everyone...

September 11th means I will never see my Daughter again ,I will never hear her sweet voice and our Family will never be the same . It also means that we have to worry each and everyday about what will happen next

I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY, OR THE DAY BEFORE OR AFTER. IT HAS TAUGHT ME THAT LIFE IS TO SHORT AND MUCH TO PRECIOUS TO WASTE ON HATRED AND ILL-WILL. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MANY YEARS, THIS COUNTRY BONDED TOGETHER FOR A COMMON CAUSE. ALTHOUGH WE HAD GONE THROUGH OUR LIVES BELIEVING THAT IT COULD NEVER HAPPEN TO US, A FEW HOURS, ON ONE FATEFUL DAY, TAUGHT US THAT WE ARE NOT IMMUNE. BUT, INSTEAD OF FALLING APART, AMERICA BECAME STRONGER, AND PULLED TOGETHER, AND SHOWED THE WORLD THAT WE...

9/11 means to me the day that life is not always going to be a rose day. That there are bad people out there who don't care for you or anyone else you love. Also that working in the airline/airport business that has changed so much I don't even remember what life was like before 9/11. All I remember now is post 9/11. That it will be a day I will always remember the day the life changed here in America.

This attack should have never happened here in the United States. We need to be aware and careful from now on. We must not forget this day, from the President down to the person in the
