IT normally takes days to get a ship ready to leave the ship yard. On September 11, 2001 we left that shipyard in less than 8 hours. I remember thinking that we were going to war this time right on ouru own doorsteps and I was scared, not because I thought I was going to die but because I thought that if we were under attack and we didn't do what we were supposed to do America would be lost. We took station just off the coast of Boston and waited radar was on high and what weapons we had were ready. Most of you didn't know that the U.S was completely surrounded by the Military that day....under the water, on the surface of the water and in the air. No attack could've come in from outside of the country on that day, but, we were too late.......I lost a friend that day in the Pentagon and I had lost one a few months earlier when some other terrorists blew up the USS Cole......It change the world and out way of viewing it forever......Tonynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-69655028834764009872009-09-12T11:36:30.245-04:002009-09-12T11:36:30.245-04:00Thank you for such a poignant recollection.

I am like what? (I am from NYC).<br /> <br /><br />It was then I was watching the news an saw the 2nd plane slam into the tower. I simply dropped the phone. <br /><br />The next day I learned my sister was on her way to the Port of Authority building, but forgot her purse and had to turn home.<br /><br />An hour late the train she was on was the one that was crushed when the towers collapsed.<br /><br />A day I will never forget, that changed the world forever.iriegalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17624900201571871081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-32512333590152556302009-09-11T15:58:53.538-04:002009-09-11T15:58:53.538-04:00Of course!Of course!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-18780071714590849552009-09-11T15:06:53.889-04:002009-09-11T15:06:53.889-04:00B, you don't love me back? :)B, you don't love me back? :)The Cable Guynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-13446659437381255582009-09-11T13:12:09.843-04:002009-09-11T13:12:09.843-04:00awwww thanks! :-)awwww thanks! :-)Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-57458663363376323212009-09-11T13:08:42.035-04:002009-09-11T13:08:42.035-04:00Excellent way to convey the things you saw that fa...Excellent way to convey the things you saw that fateful day.

Wow It's been 8 years and still no progress on a new structure for the site. My family was very lucky to have 3 survivors from that tragic day, we are very great full.We NEVER FORGOT.<br /> <br />The Buddhist Church of NY is presenting their WTC annual Floating Lanterns Ceremony tonight at Pier#40 located at West Houston and the Hudson River from 6-8pm.It's free and a wonderful way for people to pay their respect.<br /><br />it's Stephanie AKA BarriodivaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-49231390851788737272009-09-11T12:25:52.684-04:002009-09-11T12:25:52.684-04:00First & foremost I am taking out my taser for ...First & foremost I am taking out my taser for whoever anonymous is...<br /><br />Secondly 9.11.01 is a day that none of us will forget. We will all remember where we was, what we was doing, and how we handled the rest of the day. <br /><br />Also watching the news this morning with Sophia something Ray Kelly said stuck out. He said we need to remember 9.11.01 because it can very well likely happen again. As a matter of fact he was sure it would. I thought it was funny cause I am always calling ground zero a giant bullseye. We keep fixing & they keep trying to destroy.. Between both attacks countless people died & were injured. And the threat to the US has not gone away. SO not only do I want to say Rest In Peace all those that were lost on 9.11 but god bless anyone who lost anyone on 9.11. I also want to say may all my blog buddies stay safe & blessed & to my baby that works across from ground zero stay safe & may you always make it home to me & your 3 beautiful kids. We love you.<br /><br />P.S.- Brooke excellent blog you made a sister cry...Annamarianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-14723637848995692922009-09-11T12:16:57.943-04:002009-09-11T12:16:57.943-04:00And yet we have no idea who you are :-) No worries...And yet we have no idea who you are :-) No worries though!Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02584160320846679744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4984100112542285026.post-7244227270241515132009-09-11T12:09:19.937-04:002009-09-11T12:09:19.937-04:00first bitches.gosh i've been waiting to say th...first bitches.gosh i've been waiting to say thatAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
