God I remember sitting up in bed and my Wife always has the TV on. I remember seeing the fire and a local firefighter saying how bad this was. I, knowing nothing, thought it wasn't that bad. I was getting ready for work and putting my boots on and the second plane hit. I remember being stunned and confused. I said screw work this is something entirely catastrophic. I remember the building falling and I said something like WTF? I remember being instantly furious , sad, horrified and helpless. What a horrible day in our lives. It seemed as though that day would never end. 2,987 people died that day. The first firefighter to die that day was killed by a falling body. The horror stories are endless. I thank God everyday that I live and I am able to see my children grow. Life is so fragile

Just a simple man that's a little part of a bigger plan.

That was one of those days many people will never forget what they were doing, I had the perspective of being in the Navy and being pregnant at the time, quite frightening. I am thankful each day that I get to wake up and share another day with my family.
I'll never forget it. I was at work and my wife IM'd me telling me something was happening, but we thought it was just a fire. Once I heard about the second plane I knew something was very wrong. I didn't have a radio so I kept trying to find live streams on the web, but couldn't. I ended up going home and watched the TV all day. It was horrible :(
i was pregnant too. all i could remember was clutching my stomach, i went to work and couldn't keep my eyes off the tv. can't imagine the homeless children, childless parents, siblings, friends-what they went through. all of it was unnecessary. i like that song. it's one that i can sing.
Definitely a day that will forever be engraved in our memories.
Love the song! Thanks Greg!

My daughter was in preschool, that day. My mom called and told me to turn on the news...I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I watched in horror on live tv as the towers came down. My husband stayed home with our infant son, and I literally ran across the street and retrieved our daughter from her school. I think that was the most insecure I ever felt, and it took me a long time to feel comfortable being apart from my daughter, again, during school. It was the scariest and saddest of days.

I was in the OR and someone came in to tell us what happened. We watched for a while....gave people the option of rescheduling their surgeries. They didn't so I had to keep working, checking news between cases. All I wanted to do was go watch and keep up on what was going on. Work seemed like such a poor use of time that day.
