Oh why couldn’t the love and kindness last. We as a nation were so loving towards one another after 9-11, random acts of kindness everywhere you looked. Now it’s back to the dog eat dog world it used to be!

I attended several career fairs at the Twin Towers. I remember going outside, walking the plaza and feeling the cool wind on my face. I remember gazing toward the top of the Towers and thinking how amazing an architectural structure. The building seemed to soar to heaven. I remember so many people coming and going into the Towers and thinking this building must house an enormous number of people. I remember September 11th and all the dear souls lost. I could not watch all the film, it is just too painful, but thank the producers for remembering this most tragic of days. Posted 09/11/08 by johanna
I remember 1976 we went to the world trade center to celebrate our contry’s two hundred annaiversary how different life was then I recall a peaceful tranquill time and how we took our freedom for granted then. I ask my self how could this happen I watched the memorial to day the great sadness this terrible tragedy has brought on our country and its people and I wander if things will ever go back to the way they once were,not in my time but maybe in my grand children’s time. |
