I was also born in 2004. My mom was a laborer working on the renovation of the Detroit International Airport when 9/11 happened. My dad seen it on the news and immediately called her. The airport shut down. She got out as quickly as she could, they both thought she might die. I can hear the fear in their voices when they talk about it. I can only imagine how scared the people of New York must have been when it happened. As you said, the people who talk about their experiences on that day help us to appreciate what happened, and the sacrifices all those brave men and women made.

There was Uncertainty in everyones lives, Nothing felt real or felt like it had a purpose. It wasnt a NY thing, it crippled the nation. I see old footage & pictures from the korean war, WW2, Tsunami in japan, etc etc etc ........ I can imagine the horror & the victims, But I wasnt aware of any of it while it was happening.

I remember watching this happen on the news as it happened. At the time, my best friend lived just across the Potomac from DC, and her husband worked in the Pentagon. She called me after the plane hit the Pentagon and said she couldn't reach her husband. He wound up being alright, but in the days and weeks afterward, I remember all the pictures she sent me, of the anti-aircraft emplacements around the whole DC metroplex, of the military check points set up, of the sandbagged weapons emplacements, of the constant combat air patrols overhead. What we had finally realized is that we'd been at war for years, we just didn't know it. But our enemy did. 20 years of no more 9/11s is good. But now the government is back to pretending that we're not at war again. I hope and I pray that the lives of those lost, in the four hijacked airplanes, in the WTC, in the Pentagon, and in Iraq and Afghanistan haven't been for nought.

But in the 20 years since, I've heard and read stories from people who were older and recall that day much more clearly. I've been to the Ground Zero memorial. The pools are absolutely beautiful, and they are an amazing tribute to this tragedy. Thank you guys for this video. It is truly haunting to hear this firsthand account.

Thank you for doing this gentlemen. I remember where I was. 20 years ago I would've been 5, looking forward to my 6th birthday in October and celebrating my family's assorted September birthdays. And, I don't know what possessed me to, but I remember changing the channel on our TV, which at the time was still one of those boxy "big screen" deals with built in DVD and VCR, I changed the channel to the news and I remember, watching as the first tower burned, and then the second plane hitting. At 5 I still remember wondering who would be so hateful that they'd try to hurt or kill people that way. I did my best to watch every day for the next 20 years so that one day I'd be able to say we'd won over there, and handled every single one of those people who were willing to do this to us. And, watching this, I'm reminded once again why I struggle to break some bad habits of mine so I can sign up. I remember friends of mine who already have, and their friends who have been lost over there. Because the only way to confront the cowardice of those who have done us wrong, is with strength of our own until they no longer dare to strike out against the US of A. So here's to all those of our first responders and ordinary folk who responded on that dreadful day. Here's to all those since then who've answered the call. And here's to those who've paid the price for the freedoms we so enjoy here, and the ability to walk outside without fear. Sua Sponte, Semper Fidelis.

I’m not from New York or anywhere close but my father was a Career firefighter and Fire Chief and he sent a truck and equipment to help out FDNY after the destruction. I watched on television in my 8th grade classroom from the first attack till both towers fell. I remember my blood boiling and being angry. I’m made the decision then to join the military as soon as I could to go fight in the Middle East. The event definitely played a role in my life and after being in the army for 8 years I went home and went into the fire service like my father. I served in the infantry with some guys that were there and witnessed it in person and some lost family members that day. We gave em hell in return in Afghanistan and even though I’m not pleased with the outcome they will forever know what America’s youth will do for free college and our brothers beside us and for being attacked on our own soil.

My own niece was also 3 and not only remembers the visuals, but a whole conversation my mom had with us older kids about how it was real but to try not to be afraid. My family had been in OKC for me to see a specialist when the bombing happened a few years earlier and so she knew it would especially freak me out once we knew it wasn't just a movie. And somehow my niece remembers all of that talk and visuals on TV! Kind off subject a bit lol but it truly does stun me how people so young, and even in other countries, remember it.

First I didn’t realize it was real, I couldn’t understand what was going on. The next day my first class was management. Our teacher asked the whole group to stand up. We had a minute of silence. I remember his next words to this day. “Yesterday thousands of people, many of them our colleagues in craft, were killed by terrorists. It doesn’t matter that they were not Russians. They were innocent civilian people, they woke up in the morning, hugged their loved ones and drove to their jobs just like me and you. What a terrible tragedy, what a terrible loss of life. I ask of you to remember this day for the world will not be the same. I ask of you to remember people who died yesterday”. And I do.

I've lived outside of Fort Benning GA for 30+ years, born and raised. Having experienced what it felt like in the 90s when parents rushed the schools to check out their children early because they were deploying to Somolia, I knew, that after 9/11, and as a child from a retired military family, that Benning and Columbus would change. During the attacks, so many kids got checked out of schools early, because they wanted to be home if their parents got "the call". Alot of the older high school kids just skipped class and walked home. Since most of the Columbus Police Department was tied up being near the airport for extra security, there was no way anyone was going to get busted for truancy. It got to the point where the school district held an emergency meeting to decide weather or not to lock down the schools, to keep the kids from just leaving, but that never happened. I didn't see a lot of my friends for about two weeks. Keeping in mind that this was just 2 years after Columbine, every school in the city had their own television network that would broadcast news, GPTV, and other news or educational outlets, most of which was used in case if the school went under lockdown. Some teachers chose to keep the news on all day, others chose to just turn off the tvs and try to go about the day. In the halls, not a soul was to be seen, unless they were going to the bathroom, or skipping and going home, as mentioned before. Just before classes would change, teachers would open the doors, and all you could hear was the low, muffled voice of Dan Rather, the news reporter going on in the background, as it crept through the halls, almost like a sports stadium making an announcement. In the gym, the tvs were louder than the fans circulating the air. Not a single child was playing. Later on in the afternoon, when all flights were grounded, a rumor went around the city saying that the jets going to protect the White House and the Pentagon were going to be making a pit stop at Benning, as they flew in from the Gulf of Mexico.... I just didn't have the heart to tell confused people, that, that isn't how it works. So as the final bell rang, I went home, consulted my WW2, Korean War ,and Vietnam War veteran family members. After that day, I knew, not only would I never forget it, I knew that it changed the world.

I have so much respect for every man and woman who were the first responders! May the people who died rest in peace! May such a thing never, ever happen again!

I had just graduated high school the previous summer. The world, and life in general, changed totally and completely. I was too young and dumb to realize it at the time, but it did.

As former Law Enforcement my heart will always go out to these guys. Woke up, put on their gear and left to go do work. And they did, and others lived because of it. I’ll never forget these men & women, or our warriors deployed abroad to keep the homeland safe. Today we are all red, white & blue together.

Thank you for sharing this hero's amazing story. God Bless him and all who selflessly serve this great nation. ! was out to sea onboard the USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74). I was the Administrative Department Leading Chief, and Assistant Ship's Secretary overseeing the paperwork to run this large ship/city of 5200 people. We were off the coast of California, qualifying pilots for our upcoming deployment. Up early as always, I was just beginning my breakfast in the Chief's Mess. One of the televisions was tuned to CNN and I heard the reporter say that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. "Probably a pilot flying solo in a small plane had heart attack - maybe a Cessna," I thought to myself. Something made me glance up from my omelet a few minutes later only to see the second plane make impact. I immediately dropped my fork and sprinted up to the Captain's import cabin where I woke the commanding officer up and said, "Captain, I need to turn on the TV and show you something." I don't think I slept for three days. The Stennis deployed early - and stayed deployed for nine months.

As an Exfirefighter my heart goes out to my brothers and sisters who served. I was in Calgary watching the horror. While taking my truck for service work I remember seeing fully armed F18s and Harriers flying over head. Never forget.

Never Forget..... This day changed lives forever. I remember coming back from break at the NUMI auto Plant, seeing everyone huddled around the breakroom tv seeing the second plane hit. I was in shock, thinking it was a movie. I finished my shift at 1pm, went to the recruiter's office after work, and i had my intent to sign by 6pm. Oct. 10th i was in Benning.
