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 remember first hearing about it on the radio as I was getting ready for school. I don't know why, but it didn't seem like a big deal when I first heard about it. Then I went to the kitchen to tell my mom & she turned on the tv. I don't know what else happened after that. It's all a haze in my mind.
As selfish as this may sound, I was mad that they weren't showing any of my TV shows because all the networks were covering 9/11 lol. |

Wow, i've always been too ashamed to admit that. But I felt the same exact way. My parents were sitting down watching it on the news and I was just getting ready to go to school. And my parents were just staring intently at the TV and I was like "am I not getting any breakfast?" It wasn't until I got to school that I realized the gravity of the situation because everyone else was so scared, and that kinda scared me into caring. I was in sixth grade at the time. |
