Like everyone else, I wish so much we could have saved everyone! <br />After I typed this post, I realized as I put my head on my pillow, I wanted to be more serious, so I wrote another post last night. And even then, I forgot to mention your name and blog again, and had to add it this now! (Sorry, I am so forgetful). <br />Very grateful for you! xxKay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-53555122483351504042012-09-18T02:27:43.736-04:002012-09-18T02:27:43.736-04:00Thanks for sharing about my Sept 11 experience.

Since then I've heard stories of others that were supposed to be in the towers that day, but for some reason found themselves changing plans, delayed, or doing something completely out of the ordinary for them. I'm glad to be counted among them!Charmainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17295981948440904136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-53700343124873486012012-09-17T21:28:39.508-04:002012-09-17T21:28:39.508-04:00And it is American too, so I say we bring that exp...And it is American too, so I say we bring that expression back.

I have a real fondness for New York City and New Yorkers. I always think about New York City during the week of Sept. 11th. And I know we had the attacks in Washington, D.C. too, my brother-in-law's brother was there and was driving, and felt the earth move under his car, and that was the plane hitting the Pentagon. He was okay, but he realized later what it was.<br />Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-13210624077843703782012-09-17T16:59:26.480-04:002012-09-17T16:59:26.480-04:00Thank you for taking the time to look at that post...Thank you for taking the time to look at that post.

He is a country music artist and a fellow Georgian and he wrote that song after 9/11/01 and he sung it in November of that year at a country music award show. Incredible how songs can convey so much of what people are going through.<br />Thanks, Paul, for your comment.Kay G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07228498846814735537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-36424968855184448522012-09-17T16:52:34.911-04:002012-09-17T16:52:34.911-04:00That is a good name for a snowmobile too.

I always enjoy learning all kinds of tidbits of information --- but you know that already from my blog. I've only been in New York once for my cousin's wedding, but that was back in the 80s, way before that tragic period. I hope to visit one day.Plowing Through Life (Martha)https://www.blogger.com/profile/06547318824997712369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4716894977482967985.post-5719752792274699842012-09-17T10:14:27.826-04:002012-09-17T10:14:27.826-04:00I was so moved when I visited NY and saw ground ze...I was so moved when I visited NY and saw ground zero. I can't imagine being there during that time. Like most life changing events I will never forget that day and how it impacted my life. The lives lost was horrific..the loss of security and the idea we are safe here in the US was a shock to many.
