I can't believe it's been 7 years....

The attacks of 9/11 happened on this day, 7 years ago. I still can't believe it's been so long as it seems like it was just yesterday in many ways. I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I will never forget that day, I will never forget all those who we lost on that day and I will never forget our troops who are still out there defending our freedom and facing the dangers and enemies of this country so that we never have to.

God Bless America

Absolutely. Was and always will be the greatest country on the planet despite what many (even living here) will say. God bless America, God bless our troops. Never forget 9/11

I was in high school too. Pretty crazy how long ago that seems. Went to my first 2 classes and both made us take our tests even though we had no f'n clue what was going on still. I was shocked that they thought taking some BS physics test and accounting test was more important than letting us see wtf was going on.

I was in high school and remember the 1st plane crashed about 15 minutes after I woke up. While eating breakfast the 2nd plane crashed and thats when I felt total shock. Watched T.V. all day at school.

That day completely changed my thinking on a lot of things. I wish we, as a country, would have learned more from that day. I'll never forget that day, and I'll never forget what I learned because of it. Regretfully, I think there were lessons that should have been learned that day, but went completely unrecognized by the vast majority of Americans.

I was on the way to work listening to Stern and I remember them talking about the first plane. Went into work, was on a conference call for a little, got off, turned on the TV I rigged to watch sports and watched the second plane hit. I will absolutely never forget every detail of that day

MSNBC is actually (and quite eerily) replaying the events from 9/11 as they happened. Basically replaying a tape of their coverage that day. Tough to watch.

We all remember the saddest day in history. MSNBC is replaying their 9/11 broadcast now.
