Many here likely have memories of this day - both US residents and people worldwide.

My husband (we were not together then) lived it. He was getting coffee outside one of the Federal Reserve buildings he worked in when the first plane hit the south tower. He thought it was a truck crashing into a pole or building. As events unfolded, he was on a floor high enough to witness people jumping from the buidings and the eventual fall of the towers. They were allowed to leave the building at 11 am and walked through ankle deep ash to an eventual ferry. He lived in New Jersey and did make it home that night.

It was interesting to hear him speak of it last night - the details he remembers stagger me. I was not personally impacted but he was - he grew up in New York and lost two former classmates.

I imagine with the number of posters and readers here, many have memories and hurts associated with the day. May you find peace within those memories
