At the time I lived about half an hour outside of Manhattan. I had been to the towers twice but I was too little to remember anything. My mother and grandmother were both supposed to be in the city that day. My grandmother worked on 5th Avenue at the time and my mother was supposed to have a meeting that day in the windows on the world restaurant. I consider myself to be blessed that they did not have to go into the city that day because my brother and myself were both sick with a stomach bug.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-75139107399330442272010-09-13T21:10:27.818-04:002010-09-13T21:10:27.818-04:00Diana...We agree with you.

I remember Sept. 11, 2001 and listening to the radio and just not believing that the towers came down. They were so big how could they come down? I just couldn't fathom it. Later that day when I got home and seeing it on the TV was just unbelievable! I thought to myself that we may have met some of those people that went down with the towers that day. It will definitely be something that we will never forget.<br /><br />Sam and Donna, I can't believe the turmoil you must have gone though that day until you got news that your son was OK.<br /><br />Let us never forget!<br /><br />Kevin and RuthKevin Readhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05795747155781311686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-58266802691675618552010-09-11T10:01:20.377-04:002010-09-11T10:01:20.377-04:00Great pictures, Donna & I too made it to the W...Great pictures, Donna & I too made it to the WTC and up to the Observation area a few years before it was gone. Later today I will have a blog out and take a look at the pictures from my son Sam's office across the street, The building he is in was closed for a year before it could be used again and had heavy damage on his side that faced the WTC.We are lucky both our countries have the freedom and the resolve to defend this freedom against anyone who might want to take it from us. be safe out there.
