I was working at a county campground in San Diego. I was dressing for work, putting on my uniform when my mother-in-law called in tears and told us to turn on the television. We saw the second plane hit, and our lives changed forever... Well done...good story.

Sweet story.

That was so good.

This I'd good

Wow.

This was good.

This was good too.

Superb!

powerful story...beautifully written

Great story :). I may have been only 6 but I remember how scared and panic my mom was when she picked me up from school. 9/11/01 a day people will never forget. I really wish and hope that NCIS will do an epsiode about it. Or at least a scene where the team talks about what happened to each of them that day.

A beautiful story. I remember that day. I was sixteen, and in the school library on the computer. I wasn't sure what the heck was going on at first, until my next class when they announced it on the loudspeaker. When I left school and went to work, I had the radio on, and by the time I got to work, I watched the second tower fall.

I may have only been 4 when 9/11 happened, but it definitely left it's mark. My father's cousin was on the flight that crashed into the Twin Towers (woulda been cooler if it was the Pentagon)

Awesome story, I loved it! I can't believe McGee was supposed to be on that flight. Though it kinda makes you wonder what would happen with the team if he was killed. Hmmmm.

Oh god this tore at my heart! :( I loved it though.

I still remember that day. I lived in Oregon and I still do but I was getting ready for school when my mom yelled for my sister and I to come downstairs. When we watched the news I was shocked. My parents rasied us with the mentality that the U.S.A was the strongest country out there and that we were lucky to be Citizens of such a wonderful place and she was glad that she suffered though a lot to make sure we were born here. That was my first taste of the cruelties of War.

I don't ever think I will forget those who died and those who were couragous enough to fight back. I love my troops and I love my country I will forever be greatful to my mom for everything she did for me and I will forever be indebted to the Men and Women who are out there fighting or that have died fighting for this country. God Bless Them All and the families of 9/11 who have lost so much.

Thank you for this story, I loved it very much. :)

Very moving, brought tears to my eyes. Thanks.

wow. I have to admit I probably wouldn't have read this if I knew it was about 9/11. I grew up 20 minutes from NYC and remember the day vividly. However I am glad that I did read this, well done.
