thanateros Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Today, as I was sitting in the library just after having openned it I realized that today was Sept 11, marking the 3rd year anniversary that changed the world in a way that in some ways is yet to be clear. When I realized this my heart immediatly jumped a beat, how could I have almost forgotten? I'm not the only one either, just sitting at lunch and having a conversation on the topic a girl asked why in French class we spent the whole time in silence; immediately I responded, "today is september 11th", she too had forgotten. I'm wondering now if people think of this day as any other day, as they write the date on an assignment or letter, certainly the memory of what happened is still vivid, at least in my mind. So what about everyone else? Once you realize what today means for so many people across the world not just as an event but a beginning to our modern state, what kind of things go through your minds? What sort of feelings stir? I for one almost felt ashamed of myself for having almost overlooked the fact that had there been no event, the war might not have started as soon as it did or nothing at all would be done to address tensions in the middle east. I look forward to reading what others of you have to share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jormundgand Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 Well, i knew what day it was when i woke up this morning. But that's about it. I would probably think more about it if i was from the US myself. . But i do remember the day it happended. I was sitting in front of the television for hours watching the broadcasts in shock, how could such a thing happen? I feel with the americans but for me it's just a faint memory.

Ghorgareth Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 September 11:th is now in my memory as the day when our foreign minister was murdered in cold blood in the afternoon while shopping. I remeber WTC too, but Its fading away, like Switch said. Ghorgareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eldritch Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 That's kind of sad. I remember vividly the day (Nov. 22, 1963) John F. Kennedy was assassinated. At that time I was older (22) than many of you probably are now. I guess many of you in this generation are victims of information or sensory overload. I will never forget Sept. 11. It ranks with Pearl Harbor for infamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmons78 Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 I too remembered that today was the anniversary of the attack two years ago. In my line of work it is difficult to not run into some sort of reminder about that incident. However, I do not think I will ever be able to forget about that day. I still remember exactly where I was, and what I was doing when I first found out that the twin towers had been attacked. And, much like eldritch, I will never forget it either. I still feel shocked that something like that could happen, and still remember how it all felt like a dream for that entire day. But when I didn't wake up from it, I started to feel that something had to be done. Just the other day, a few of my colleagues and I were discussing what we were doing at the time, and again it brought back the memories, and all of those same feelings. I feel for all the people who lost someone they loved on that day. I am a different man from what I was before Sept. 11, 2001, and now I am truly glad to say that I am serving my country.

Eltiraaz Posted September 11, 2003 Share Posted September 11, 2003 It was a sad day, I'm not a huge fan of the US (duh), but I still felt sorry for them on the day of.
