    Where is the hug emoji? You need one! I felt so useless that day. I was so angry waiting for a call from my unit after I called them and was told to just standby.

    I will never forgot that day....ever. I teach my girls about that day and tell them that they need to remember that day too.

    On a plane from Houston to Atlanta early that morning. We were told that the plane had to do an emergency landing in New Orleans. Prior to landing the pilot told us nothing was wrong with the plane but US airspace was being cleared due to a terrorist incident. We landed and were escorted through an empty terminal. Could see the towers burning on CNN news at every other gate.

    I was 19 stationed in Portland, Oregon on the USCGC Bluebell. I recall listening to Howard Stern report that a plane may have crashed into one of the twin towers while I was arriving to my unit. Second plane hit live on TV just as I sat down on the mess deck for morning muster. Normal operations were halted that day as myself and the crew received security duties and increased watches. The small boat station conducted increased river and bridge patrol on the Willamette and Columbia rivers.

    I was setting on Capitol of Texas Highway when the rock radio station DJ said 'I'm not kidding folks, a plane just hit one of the towers". Our lives changed that day. My LE support teams was immediately activated as we didn't know at that time how big of a coordinated attack we were dealing with. I long for the days of innocence before 9/11.

    Sitting in Dallas traffic on Hwy 80 West at 635. You could see the faces change as soon as the second plane hit. Lot of teary eyes too.
