9 11 10 Year Anniversary Tribute!
It has been 10 Years since the September 11 Attacks. I felt unsettled and knew that I needed to do something. I Felt I had to do anything, no matter how small.
In my humble opinion I believe that there was not one person affected by 9-11! I know that not to be absolutely accurate but what other way can I express it!
If you or your family were directly affected by the events 10 years ago, I send my Full Heart Felt Condolences to you and your family.
If you remember where you were 10 years ago today and you would like to share your story I would feel very humbled! You may express it in any way you wish, if you have a video you uploaded an article about your personal experiences or you just would like to make a short comment, they are all welcome.
I will start by telling my story…
I was living in Toronto, Ontario in a small 2 room bachlor apartment directly above a hardware store. Times were tough and my future was uncertain. I turned on my 14inch black and white t.v. and left the room.
When I returned I noticed that the image on the tube had not changed. I didn’t think anything of it, so I changed the channel and continued to change the channel till it finally sunk in that what I was seeing was happening in real life.
I sat there with my eyes glued the t.v. screen not knowing what to think or feel. It was like a dream and I expected to wake at any moment. I spent the rest of the day with friends.
Thanks and…
My Heart Felt Condolences

I was at a job when this incident occured right on Tuesday September 11, 2001. At the same time it is my mother’s birthday and she will never forget it as long she lives.
This day that happened when the Twin Towers fell changed the way the world was viewed. Also it became a little piece of history in the same process creating a sense of insecurity but having the awareness of individuals heightened.
That was a great tribute Nick! I live in Canada but We were affected by this horrible part of history. I was only 15 yrs old at the time but I remember hearing about it at school but didnt quite get the whole story. Today is my grandmothers birthday and on her birthday that year when i came home it was on the television. She thought it was a movie she didnt understand why her show had turned to the live broadcast of what was happening. It was Crazy you could see people jumping out of windows just trying to survive. It was a horrible ordeal and we should all take the time to remember all the people who worked there,the families and the ones who did and didnt survive. Lets try to make sure something like this NEVER happens AGAIN..Thank you for putting this out there i hope alot of ppl see it.
Take the time and Remember people it only takes a few mins to add your thoughts.
Thanks and my DEEPEST condolences to the families out there.

The people who think this is the right thing to do
are no more than evil and will never win.
What a sad day for the world to see.
And to think we try our best to help these country’s
No wonder people want to live in America and UK.
Good people will always win in the end.
It still seems unreal. I was in my kitchen cleaning, went into the frontroom when i heard what was on the tv. I know I had a look of shock on my face, I couldn’t say anything and when I saw what was happening my eyes started watering, still do everytime I see pictures of that day. It will always be a sad day for me. I just don’t know how anyone could hurt anyone that way and be okay with it.
Thank you Mark, Rio, Claire and Debbie for sharing your day with me and for all my readers.
What I find incredible is half the time I can’t remember what I had for dinner the night before last, but we have the ability to remember where we were and exactly what we were doing a whole decade back.
You know something, I was not even going to share this tribute on here at the beginning because of this blogs focus and it hits on the side of personal, and the last thing I wanted to do was offend anyone.
But, now after 10 hours making this tribute I know that it fits here nicely. Thank You all!
Please continue to share your thoughts… I would love to read them!
That was 10 hours well-spent creating your tribute. Where was I?
My husband, a much-decorated-with-medals, retired military man who served twice in Viet Nam, was just home from work as a security guard. He turned on the TV while he was preparing my breakfast so I could go to work.
I was in the shower, and he yelled out so loud in anger and distress that I grabbed a towel, left the water running, and ran through the house to him to find out why.
He could only point at the TV, tears streaming down his face.
I looked. I stumbled to the couch. We saw the whole thing unfold on the screen.
We are both military veterans of Viet Nam, and we both sat there and cried. We also wanted to go buy a gun and prepare ourselves to protect this land we love. We didn’t. Instead we prayed for everyone.
The pain of that day still remains with me.
10 years has not diminished that pain, or much of the initial shock of that day.
Anyway, that’s my story. and yes, I went to work, was late getting there, and absolutely everyone was talking about it, trying to believe that it really happened. Not knowing why it happened. And calling their loved ones constantly all day to tell them “I Love You.”
ooops … you caught me Susan
LoL… What I wanted to say was:
“But, now 10 hours after making this tribute I know that it fits here nicely. Thank You all!”
