  1. Such sad memories we all have of that horrible day! And now today, more sad memories are coming from the horrible fires on our Western States! Different, I know, but both so sad! Thanks for sharing you memories and pictures of 9/11. May such as that never happen in our land again! ---"Love"

  3. My DH was an air traffic controller and was at work when this took place. The controllers were tasked with emptying the skies of all planes in record time in case there were any other planes flown by terrorists still up. I will NEVER forget.
