I don't know if this has been asked already, but were all the postings to this site on 9/11/01, reporting the events of that day as they occurred, saved and archived? I printed out a bunch of those a few weeks afterward and it's incredible rereading the shock and disbelief of each poster as they described what was happening.

Secretsmile, the family photo in your profile is wonderful. You have a beautiful family. I would love to send your son a card to thank him for serving his country. If you don't mind, you can e-mail me his address (an APO, I assume):

Chiparock@hotmail.com

Thank you and God Bless.

As always Secretsmile..Many of my son's friends are also serving our country...I pray daily for their safety and the safety of every mother's child..I also pray there will be some devine intervention so my own sons don't get caught in a draft situation as both are of the age (selfish perhaps, but I can't help it). My heart goes out to you and others in the same boat.

Proud military family here. We have several who've already packed out, and many more friends who've been and come back and are likely on their way out again. None of them would have it any other way but than to serve in this war, but it doesn't help much back home when the bad news starts rolling in. My mom and my aunt are having fits about now, my dad and uncle have it tempered with their pride in handing down the military tradition. All are always in our prayers and thoughts. The same go to everyone on the board with family and friends in harms way.

Thank you all so much. My husband is a firefighter who was in NYC, so he's there now for ceremonies, it's hard to be out of touch with loved ones during this time.

The fan,
That flash presentation was shown during my church service on Sunday. It's a really nice tribute. :)

do any of you know of anyone who died the day before 9-11? i do, and it was quite odd to be making funeral plans on 9-11 for the funeral 9-12. travel was an issue also.

I've saved them - will be a long long time before I can ever go back and read them (I do plan to someday though...)

i just heard on the news that there are no specific threats against los angeles. all police will drive their cars with low beams on and black stripes on their badges. there will be 2/3 (or 1/3?) more police on the streets.

my worry is not so much the planes but the airport itself (before someone gets on a plane). i wish they would go back to very tight security (no curbside check-in) for tomorrow.

I just wanted to say on the event of 911 how much I miss my friends and co-workers. My wife and I work in the Pentagon. NEVER FORGET!

Dogdoc had pointed out earlier in the thread that a group whose contibution on 9/11 was invalualble: Air Traffic Controllers, who had to land ALL the planes in the nation ASAP.

Tonight on NBC, at 8pm EST, a special report on Dateline will be presented featuring the ATC's in Boston, NYC, and DC who will discuss the shutdown of America's airspace.

NBC will air today's events on streaming video. I don't think my boss will mind if I keep that on my computer all day.

God Bless America. We will never forget.

Last year at this time, I was engrossed in BB2 and all of Will's tatics. When the WTC was hit, I was actually on this board reading all about the latest antics of the house. Then the board went wild. Members who were in New York were giving us details of what was happening. I was at work, no TV and the news web sites were jammed with so many people trying to find out what was going on. So, I stayed here and remember Ewing (I think) giving us so much information. It was how I kept up with what was going on. I would relay the info to my coworkers. We were all in shock but grateful for the news from here. We were later able to hook up a TV and actually see what we already knew.

So, for all the BB posters, both last year and this year, I salute you. You are the best whether it's talking about a fun show or at a time of unthinkable horrors.

GOD BLESS AMERICA! NEVER FORGET!

Jeep, the exact same thing happened to me. I had just woken up about 7:30 CDT, had some breakfast and came to TVCH to check the boards, when their was a thread titled "World Trade Center hit...turn on your TV." Thank goodness for that person, because I immediately turned on the TV, and saw the 2nd plane hit live. Well, maybe not "thank goodness," because I'll never get rid of that image...but, I appreciate the significance of what happened, and that I may have been clueless for so long if it hadn't been for the fanclub posters.

Thank you.

OK, I thought I had it all together here, working on my little personal project to document how I experienced 9/11/01. Then Pataki read the Gettysburg Address at WTC - written by my personal hero and by most opinions the greatest speech ever delivered. As true an application to the 9/11 nightmare as it was to the events at Gettysburg. I am now officially a wreck. To all of you who suffered personal losses this day last year, my heart, thoughts and prayers go out to you now and always. This day is going to be much more difficult than I thought.

Today will be an emotional day for a lot of us.

I pray that God gives you the strength you need to get through the day.

God bless us all.
