Then it was revealed that Tower 1 was collapsing. I put my hand over my mouth and just stood there. I couldn't move. After the 2nd tower collapsed, I remember foolishly thinking/convincing myself that those in Tower 2 had time to get out...

So this is the idea. We have all been touched by the tragedy of September 11th in some form or fashion. Some of us lost loved ones, while others witnessed the events with their own eyes. In some cases we have no direct connection to the tragedy whatsoever, but we still share a patriotic kinship that keeps the tragedy near to all of our hearts.

If you're old enough, or like to study history, you may have noticed that anyone alive during the dramatic events of 1963 (when President John F. Kennedy was shot) always remembers what they were doing on that shocking day. In similar fashion, there's little doubt that anyone who was awake and alive on September 11th probably remembers very specifically what they where doing, where they were, who they were with, what they were thinking, and so on.

In 1963 America didn't have an Internet. America didn't have play-by-play newscasts recorded, pre-recorded or archived daily and readily available via a click or two of the mouse. Today we do. So while it's all still fresh on our minds, it seems only natural that we look for somewhere to put it all down and share our stories with loved ones, friends, or even (and especially) perfect strangers.

Share your feelings. Share your thoughts. Share your story. And in this, let's find yet another way to bring this nation together.
