[@FEJK82]

@@BAMCIS13450703 Actually, my platoon was getting issued our rifles in that little armory warehouse, all the lights on the island go dark, and scuttlebutt starts coming down the line, and I laughed - because I heard some idiot flew his Cessna into one of the towers. After waiting for a while back in the barracks, standing on the line, my SDI told us, and took the 5 guys who had family working there in the office to call home (95% of my platoon, 1074, was from NY and NJ). One lost his mother, took 2 weeks bereavement - right out of Basic - and came back, but to another platoon. After standing at attention on the line for about four and a half hours, my Battalion went outside, grouped by our series', and the chaplain and some Major I didn't know stood there and lead a prayer and sang a hymn - which bothered me because he couldn't sing well at all. But things weren't too different after that, since you're in so much pain 24hrs a day, there isn't much brain power left to contemplate anything. My SDI actually spoke Arabic, so he said he might see some of us in the desert. I'd like to say it brought us together in some big halftime locker room speech type fashion, but it was Parris Island, and all we wanted to do was sleep. I actually didn't see pictures or news reports of 9-11 until our SDI showed us a newspaper about a month afterwards. So, in a way, it never happened for me the way it did for the rest of the country. The truth is, since Boot Camp was so insane and surreal, it just felt like more of the same. Strange time.

Classes weren't really held that day, everyone just watched the news or was waiting to make a phone call from the front office to reach parents to see if their loved ones who worked in the towers were alright. Cell phones were so jammed that day that no calls were really getting out. Edit: The horror of seeing the towers actually fall in real time didn't really hit until later.

My daughter asked to cancel the party, we didn't be4cause I still wanted to celebrate her birth but we did call everyone and told them it was cancelled so we spent her birthday talking about everything we were grateful for and take advantage of. It's hard for her to celebrate now because every year on 911 the news, TV and internet are talking about it and remembering those poor people who lost their lives.

Alan did such a beautiful thing writing and sharing this song with us. As for me, I was one month away from turning 40, working for a courier company and driving around metro Atlanta delivering packages while listening to "The Regular Guys" radio show on 96 Rock. They were taken by what started showing up on the tv monitors in the studio and relayed details like a play-by-play description of a baseball/football game... My last delivery that morning before my dispatcher said we were closing for the day and "go home and be with your family" was to the CEO of Delta Airlines at Hartsfield International Airport (the busiest airport in the world at the time), and I remember what an ominous feeling it was to drive through downtown ATL on the way there and not seeing a single airplane in the sky, which NEVER was the case! I was a Private Pilot at the time with just 108 hours in my Logbook, and that event definitely inspired me to get my advanced Certificates/Ratings and pursue aviation as a career. I did that and enjoyed logging 8,200+ hours over the next 17+ years. Great reaction, God Bless America, and may we NEVER FORGET!!!

I thought it was a movie at first. we went down to the break room and sat watching in horror with other employees. we were all in shock and the room was so silent.

I was in grade school. We usually start the day with the news on an old TV before school officially started. We watched the first videos of it while it happened before our teacher realized what was happening and she shut it off. We had an assembly later about it..........still, watching it was almost out of body

[@aaronrico8795]

You should have watched the live version when he sang it at the CMA awards show. Not long after the attacks. I cried so much. Thank Sushi. You need to watch Kenny Chesney WHO'D YOU BE TODAY. That song is close to me. I lost my son, Joshua Orion Rico, to alcoholism. Im an alcoholic myself, last drink was 13 years and 19 days....and counting. I thought i could save my son. I couldn't. Thanks again Sushi. Peace and love

[@OuterHeavenNET]

Just watched him do this one live for his farewell tour on September 10th, and the entire audience stood up in Rupp Arena and there wasn't a hat on in the crowd. So proud to be in this country sometimes. I wish we could all just put aside our differences and live in moments like that.

[@cra0422]

First of all, I can never listen to this song without tearing up. Second, if you want to listen to a song that has a good message, please listen to Tim McGraw's "Live Like You Were Dying"

[@daveweber9577]

I remember waking up to get ready for school after a late work night. My friend from college called me completely terrified. I went to school & received the call from my guard unit a few hours later.

🇺🇸 we have our problems but after that day WE WERE A UNITED STATES of AMERICA ... at least for awhile... and it was Really Wonderful...we could be like that all the time again if we would all make the decision to do so ❤️

[@mikeb9214]

I love your channel, I will say I was literally getting sworn is as a law enforcement officer when that happened...what a way to start that line of work geez! I've listen to this song a thousand times and it still brings me to my knees. Stay sweet young lady

[@brookewashington3383]

I recommend “have you forgotten” by Darryl Worley I think that’s his name. ❤️❤️🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@erwingroenewold1259]

I am from the Netherlands and I was 4 years old and I can remember for myself what pain and tension was overall and I love alan jackson and I always cry almost from this song .

[@Stopsign32v]

9/10/01 was the last good day America ever had. It hasn't been the same since.

[@RockaRolla1971]

I have to tell you I love your reactions Sushi. They are so genuine and heartfelt

[@neta012]

I was in 5th grade, they turned on the tv. I remember thinking it was a movie. I was 10

[@raymondrice9875]

I was onboard a Naval Ship that morning, we had some reservist from NY on the ship that morning, I will never forget that morning!

[@charlesbignell5103]

I do remember that day I was sitting in a mental hospital I seen this broke down lost my composure

[@wildhorsesrunfaster]

You’re beautiful... ❤️ I just came across your videos. I know all these songs but it’s special watching your reaction to them. Sending love your way. 😘❤️🌺💐🌹

[@SwagMang]

Hey Sushi, been trying to get someone to react to Josh Weathers - I Will Always Love you, and Mind, Body, Soul. You will be amazed! Keep the videos coming love them!

[@ryansalmons5279]

Not many of us know the greatness of Josh Weathers. What a voice. Love that guy

[@meangenevstheworld.7773]

Beautiful song.

[@bomackful]

I still can't watch those buildings falling when I come across replays, I switch channels. Heartbreaking.

[@michaelfoose2257]

Believe it or not, alan jackson did not want to write or release this song. He wrote it in one night and his wife had given it to his producers to listen to. And from there it became a song for us Americans to remember those that were lost in such a dark day in our history. Let us not forget those who were lost. May they all rest in peace. That day I received a call from the Army and was put on standby. Being an army veteran I was and am still ready to go and fight the war on terror.

"If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ...Now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love." That's straight up from the Bible in 1 Cor. 13 and it's a lesson we still need to this day. Think of all the love songs written in this world and the good things people do for one another, but we are still so lacking in love. Whether it's not valuing our family, not respecting our countrymen, or just straightup hating our enemies... God is love, and oh how we need Him to teach us.

[@hiltonlouque1504]

You are the sweetest woman! Love your heart!!

[@curtkramer5154]

Thank you Sushi, we can’t forget...

[@danielson512ify]

Yeah... I remember where I was when this happened, I too was in middle school, still makes me feel the same way I did back then (cried/teared up), thank you #Too Sushi.

[@grandmasteryoda4337]

definitely do Alan Jackson "sissys song" absolute banger🔥🔥🔥

[@meganmccreary3936]

Still remember that like it was yesterday. I saw everything unfolding as it happened. Went out to dinner for my friends birthday. We went to a bar sat and watched the cartoon network because it was one of the very few stations that was not covering the horrific tragedy of that day. Just sat at the empty bar had drinks and talked to the bartender.
