    I remember exactly where I was. Even took action and sent my employees home that day cause we were in a big glass building outside Chicago. I was in shock as I watched live when the second plane hit.

    I was working for another company and I remember hearing on the radio a plane hit one of the towers. I told everyone and we sort of assumed it was a small private plane and didn't worry to much about it. Then when I hear on radio another plane hit I remember clear as day the company owners wife says " well that's it, we are at war!" at that moment it sunk in and hit like a brick what was happening and going on and everyone was focused on radio and online tv.

    Remember it distinctly. Beside the horrible images on tv, I noticed the absence of all air traffic. It was eerie.

    I remember it as clearly today as the day it happened. Where I was, who I was meeting with that morning, bringing my daughter home from school, everything.
    Yes, I was talking to myself; sometimes even I have to ask for expert advice.

    I will always remember I was at work in the break room and the tv was on and the news came on. I was in shock that we had been attacked. I wondered what Pearl Harbor must have been !ike.

    I remember, I was West bound on hyw 58 in Va. headed down to Henderson, NC to deliver a container of goods. Wife called to see where I was and told me to turn the news on...that's when the 2nd plane hit. Next door neighbor, at the time, was supposed to be in tower 2 for some classes with Hanjin container shipping. They were way ahead of schedule, so they decided to take the rest of the week off, otherwise he would have been caught up in it. He said the classes started at 0630 in the morning...

    I was at work at Rush Hospital when our pharmacy manager
    called all of us into the conference room to watch what was
    occurring at the time. We were watching live TV and could
    not believe our eyes of what was happening. Thank God for
    the courageous police officers and firemen who rushed into
    that disaster not knowing what they would be facing!

    Those brave men and women did not need to ask what was in it for them as they put their lives on the line to serve their fellow citizens and country. They understood in their hearts what service to our country and our people was and is.
