Guys y'all know I love Alan Jackson, this is such an incredible artist and I don't know how I haven't heard this song yet but it was very deep!

I remember exactly where I was at .. I also remember stopping at McDonalds on my way to college the next day or two and telling the Manager there that I liked his Mcdonalds pin .. it had the arches and a flag .. he was black and I was white country girl who may not have known each other, but he gave me that pin so I could wear it proudly all day .. and it meant so much to me as an American .. so yes we all came together then .. the kindness that was displayed was amazing ..I still have that pin thanks to that very kind stranger !! ❤️🙏

[@jennifercload9390]

When he says, Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened, I did that every single day. To this day I still think about it wishing it didnt happen

[@Lindsey_M]

I remember exactly where I was as I watched the Towers fall. Such a tough song and so hard to teach without getting emotional.

So true. I tear up evertime

[@brianlloyd5520]

Yea, I was just getting up that day. I just barley started my freshmen (one month into it) year.

[@kgrimes842]

I was 16. No school that day. My mom yelled for me to turn on the news and i tuned in just to see the 2nd plane flying into the south tower. I cried so hard but still had to go to work at subway. Everyone wrote their orders on paper. No words were spoken. All you heard was radio coverage

[@sandramurdico3010]

The day after this happened, my daughter and her kids and I cooked all night and took all the food to the nearest Fire Station and gave them the food and thanked them. We have done it every year since. Ni matter when we lived, we did the same. Now my grandchildren do the same thing with us.

[@eddiepiszczek4820]

September 11th was a terrible terrible day. I remember it like it was yesterday. But starting September 12th, and a for a few weeks afterwards, we became the country we always said we were. We were united. We didn't think they attacked New York, they attacked all of us. We stood by each other. We cried together. We were angry together. We united together. As horrific as September 11th was, my favorite day will always be September 12th.

I'm with you brother. Sept. 12th, a bitter sweet day in America.

[@deannacrownover3]

I was having my first cup of coffee when my husband called and told me to turn on the tv. He'd heard what must be a mistake, on the radio. When the second plane hit, the reality of it not being an accident hit. I burst into tears and hit my knees, begging God to spare people.

I was Active Duty US Air Force and sitting in training when the live video stream suddenly appeared on the screen instead of the speaker's PowerPoint slides. Immediately, all 200+ of us were ready to engage, to fight to save our beloved country. Many of us would get the chance to do just that, even it was months later. Yes, the world stopped turning that day.

Thank you

[@renee9365]

Be grateful that you were too young to understand or remember what was going on. I sat in front of the TV all day just crying. Seeing people jump out the windows to their death was so devastating to watch. And then when the building collapsed, I have no words. I'll never forget the sight of the 2nd plane slamming into the 2nd tower. I was one of those people in the song who went to church and held hands with some strangers. I don't know why because I hadn't been to church in 20 years, I just felt the need. The upside was how we did all unite as Americans for a while. I'd drive around my neighborhood and everybody was flying their American flags. It felt good to be united like that.

[@tazdevil2921]

why, why this is a super great song,i love this song

[@rhiahlMT]

My husband was military and called me from work. "What is going on?" All I could say was we are going to war. I cried all morning.

[@TraciSoloGrayWitch]

It was harder for me to sleep. My Insomnia got worse. I seen it happening in my sleep. My friends woke me. I thought they where playing a joke. But when I seen the news. I fell to my knees and cried. I even went through shock. It took me 3 hours before I could move. 9/11/2001, married 12/19/2001.

[@reemitchell6528]

that morning i watched from the time the first plane hit i thought iy was a small plane that had gone off course,then to my horror i watched the second one hit i went to my family and said wake up something is happening and its bad. but there was real love and respect shown to each other we were a firefighter family at the time and the respct and love shown to them was amazing.that love and respect is still there somewhere we just have to be willing to use it again.

#TeamDreamers, I remember that day and will for the rest of my life....... I was sitting on the floor with my laptop and my brother busted through my door telling me to turn on the news... I was 25... I am still floored its been almost 20 years feels like yesterday

I remember exactly. I was getting ready for my shift in a Recovery Room at a hospital in Bham. I cried and cried. I was told not to talk about it in front of our patients. I recovered a elderly black man. When he woke up he said ' I'll go! I'll fight! Let me go fight!.' I cried and held his hand. We had fellow employees that lost a family member. Thank you for this video.

[@richardandelenabooth5263]

Your reaction is beautiful. So genuine feeling. America after 9/11 was a beautiful place.

[@christinegreen3974]

The line "class full of innocent children" always gets me, because this happened my 2nd week of being a teacher and that was exactly what I was doing. Talk about the moment you realize you're not a kid in college, but an adult with the responsibility for children in your care. We had no idea what was happening in the world outside. We sent the kids home and left the building not knowing what life was going to be like. It was a scary drive home.

[@raquelmyers9159]

My teacher, every year he would tell us the story of teaching his class and he all taught us a lot, it had a tremendous impact on me. And thank you for all you do.

[@kenpachizaraki4471]

I was in the fifth grade when it happened. They made a big announcement to us kids and started working straight on getting us all home. I just remember being scared and sad at the same time. I was old enough to know what happened but not quite old enough to know how to handle it

[@kjh6903]

I was in the classroom with a room full of 1st graders . It was so hard not to just sit down and cry .

[@azraelselvmord3650]

I was in 6th grade when it happened. Someone from the office came to the room and whispered to the teacher. Then the teacher turned on the news. It was surreal. It felt like a scene from a movie. They let us out early.

[@karenbaker2566]

I was a high school drama teacher. My classroom became a haven as kids came in all day to watch the tv and hold one another and talk and try to process....It changed us all. My “kids” from that day are the age of your parents now. It means a lot to me to see you, who are so young you can’t remember it and clearly NOT a kid who would have been listening to country music your whole life to listen and empathize and SEE the images the song conveys. “Never Forget.” That was the phrase that was coined then and has been repeated... but I worry that your generation cannot remember what you have never known. Thank you for opening your heart and awareness to that truth. “Those who do not know the past, are doomed to repeat it.” The bonding of music is universal. Thank you for listening and learning and sharing that human experience. ❤️💕

[@normanparvin2770]

The first time he did this song was a few months later at the CMA awards. Ended with a standing ovation. As for me, working my ass off in the Air Force for days!

I hate what this song represents..sigh! My oldest son was in 2nd grade, I was home with my 8 month old son. Watched the 2nd tower fall. My Grandmother called in panic telling me to get my son out of school and rush to her house, bc we all needed to be together. Faith, Hope, & Love are some good things he gave us, & the greatest is Love! 4sure, 4sure!

Before that day was over he was in New York City, searching rubble for survivors and maintaining what order they could.

My aunt and I went home and just... stared at the tv, waiting for any and all news.

Yes, I remembered vividly where I was on that day. And the country did come together like I never imagined possible. It was just after my second child was born and it actually scared me about the future of the world. It's always been a song/video that moves me in my own way. Today I'm honestly more worried about how divided we have become over politics. All Men created equal has been forgotten by so many. Thank you for this reaction.

@Dream Team Neal As an army brat of 2 vets who grew up on military bases, have many active and retired military family members, a 911 survivor and 1st responder and a federal agent, this song got to me beyond belief. I remember it like a crystal clear nightmare. I worked at WTC. Survived. Went to get my son and see my mother bcuz at the time cells weren’t working due to the sheer traffic of calls. I hugged and kissed my family then went right back. The first 2-3 were rescue missions. Afterward, it was recovery efforts. I will never forget calling for bodybags like every 5 minutes. At some point we were finding just pieces. An intestine, limbs, appendages, etc. I still haven’t been back to the site to visit the memorial since. 🇺🇸 💪🏾

I was going to fly to Florida in June and was afraid to fly. After we got back safe from our trip, I didn't think about my dream again until that September. I'll never forget, I saw the flight number in my dream, # 175 was the one I saw in my dream. To see that flight number show up on 9/11, it just brought chills to me and an intense sadness because the fear resurfaced. I felt the fear to my core.

[@ISAFMobius18]

As a Canadian, I know where I was and what I was doing and my military husband was in Afghanistan at the time. I was transfixed to the television for the whole week as I watched in horror of what had happened and the following news that was on our news channel. Selfishly, I was happy to hear my husband's voice telling me that he was fine but that they were on guard and he wasn't sure when he'd be able to call me again. One week that I will never forget.
