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 know, I know, I'm late on this, but whatever.
:) I was in second grade. I lived on Davis-Monathan Air Force Base in Tucson, Arizona (my dad was in the Navy). I remember getting up and going to school for like 5 minutes. We had to go to the cafeteria and I didn't really know why. Then, my mom pulled me out of school. I went home and saw a building falling and I was so scared, but I knew I'd be safe because our base LOCKED down. Nobody could get on or off. That's half the reason my mom pulled me out because my teachers couldn't get on base. :/ That's my story. My teacher said that mine is "an interesting prospective" beacause my 'rents were military. Also, my dad was going to retire before that but then 9/11 happened and he stayed in until '06. He's been over to the Mederterranian Sea about 10 times since and it scared the crap out of me. So, yeahhh... |
