where were you on 9/11? tell ur story.
i was stationed in germany and i was doing maintenance on my PLS. a lot of the sergeants always tease me about being from NY and my heavy accent. so when one of the sergeants came out to tell me that a plane crashed into the twin towers, i thought they were kidding. finally, he comes back out and tells me that we have to go back to the unit because of an emergency formation (meeting). i didn't finally see the images of what happened until i was in the dining facility and saw it on TV. i cried because i couldn't believe it. plus, i have family that work by the tower. so i called my parents on my cell but i couldn't get through for awhile but finally they told me that everyone is fine. that night, all of the soldiers were waiting for instructions on what we were to do. they closed the post so no one was able to leave and we were stuck. so one soldier brings out a boombox and plays afroman - "cause i got high". ever since then, that song reminds me of 9/11 but it gave us a little bit of hope. weird, i know but it was what made all of us cheer up on a horrible day. |

I was in my sixth grade Social Studies Class and a funny thing happened to me when the tragedy happened or around that time. I shivered like I was cold and felt like something was wrong. I just shook it off and thought don't be ridicules nothing was wrong. (I still think it is ridicules that it has something to do with it. Just when I have told my story in detail to a couple of my friends they think it dose.) I just think it was because the room was chilly and my Teacher looked mad for some reason. But yeah the principal called the entire school (one grade at a time) to the auditorium two blocks later I was Happy because it was interrupting my stupid science class. Also we didn't know what happened yet so everyone was happy that we got out of our class. once we got to the auditorium we were told that something really bad happened and that if this event effected any of us we would have the school counselors to talk to. Then they said when you get home you can ask your parents what happened. So we had to wait all day till we got home to find out what happened it was so annoying.
