I remember calling my husband at work to tell him what was going on. I don't know how best to remember the occasion other than with prayer, but I also remember the people and families of the OKC bombing too.

Home and cleaning the garage. I came up to get more coffee, saw what had happened and never got back down to finish. Ten years. How our lives have changed....

I will never forget and I'll do the same thing I do every day. Pray for peace!

In my office. Receptionist walks in shortly before 9am and says she heard a small plane hit the WTC. I had a little 8" mini TV in my office so we turned it on, and within 2 minutes the second plane hit. From that point on, my office was packed with people, and I was giving nonstop phone and email updates to friends and family who's jobs didn't have access to TV or radio. I vividly remember my boss, who was National Guard, saying "This is Bin Laden" and I was like like...who's that?

I still cry every single time I see the planes hit, or think of the people on those planes. God bless everyone who lost their lives that day.

I was home sick in bed watching Regis and Kelly. I have no plans other than say a prayer for those who can't.

I was working for the Federal Aviation Administration and was in my office. You can imagine the chaos that ensued once we heard about the planes.

I spent the September 11, 2011 weekend with a very dear friend who is a commercial airline pilot. She has a whole different insight into what 9-11 was like. Ten years ago, she was the Captain of a flight waiting on the taxiway at Chicago-O'Hare, 3rd in line for takeoff, when Air Traffic Control told them to stay put. It was a most harrowing experience and, even 10 years later, she relives it all over again. We attended the "Concert to Honor" sponsored by the National Cathedral, talked a lot and cried a lot. I hope I was able to help her find some peace of mind.
