    Let me be very clear with the ppl that have an issue with this reaction
. 1. I’m well aware of the issue at hand when this happened. 2. This reaction is not being disrespectful to anybody smh
. The fact I even have to address this with some ppl is wild!

      I am glad you honestly stated that you knew and yet decided to NOT address any part of it other than I Love Lucy re-runs. Now I know. You can be you. And I can be me. No hard feelings. I just was mistaken in what I thought you were about. It's not the first time I've been mistaken and certainly, in life, it will happen again. What is important to me, simply isn't the same for you. Good luck in your ventures. I will move on to seek out others more in line with what I am looking for.

    I remember very well. I was getting ready for work as a R.N. in a Recovery Room. My husband called me to the t.v. I started crying. I call work. I was instructed to come in. We were not supposed to mention it to our patients. My first patient was a elderly black man. His first words were I'll go! I'll fight. I held his hand as tears ran down my face. One of our O.R. Nurses lost her sister in the Pentagon. Great pick and reaction!

      I was already at work in the procedure room when one of our coworkers called-she was out sick that day. We only had a few pts. And we all ran to the ER next door and turned on the TV. We were all in shock and just wanted our families. We finished our patients and then clocked out and went home to be with our families. I don’t know that I’ll ever forget that. I was 23 years old.

I remember finally making it to my mother full of dust, ash, soot and she dropped to her knees hysterically crying cuz there was no way to let her know I was alive until then. I must’ve hugged my son and mother for an hour str8. I don’t have PTSD or anything but I haven’t been to the site ever since recovering the last remains we were able. Absolutely beautiful song!!!

    I was a junior in high school, and although I was scared, the way people even strangers supported each other was so unbelievably comforting and eased those nerves. I miss how our country united after that day. Somewhere in between, we lost our unity, we are more divided and the hate is spewing wherever you look.

      I'm also a medic. I had gotten home from my night shift and was sound asleep. My best friend called, my wife answered and told Steve I was asleep because I worked nights. Steve said (very seriously and not in his usual tone) "Wake him up and turn on the TV. Right now." I turned on the TV just in time to see the second tower get hit. About 5 minute later my pager went off. No one had a day off that day.

    I was on the way home from a brief stay in hospital (rough miscarriage). Had to drive myself, with husband at home with our kids. I remember pulling over, putting emergency lights on, and crying my heart out. Hubby had kept the kids from watching, but they found out at school. The double shock messed with us all - two uncles were called in to assist from several states away, one barely missed being crushed. Alan captured the hard-to-believe situation perfectly. This song was on *every* radio station for months!

none of that. And he’s also not required to be 100% vulnerable to complete strangers on YT and share his every emotion. The fu@k? Get outta here with that mess. If y’all were really all about America like you pretend to be, then you’d be all about his freedom to express himself HIS way. 🙄

    I was on my way to my folks to mow their lawn and the lady at the filling station had her tv on. I watched it for a minute or two before the buildings collapsed or even the 2nd plane had hit, so I thought it was just a bad accident. I went on and mowed their lawn and came in to see them both glued to the tv and both buildings afire. I watched with them for a moment, but then had to get out again and go mow my brother's lawn for him in town. I remember one of his neighbors asking me why I wasn't watching everything going down on the tv and I said I'm sure it'll still be on when I get everything done that has to be done. It may seem cold or callous to some folks, but you gotta live man. I'm sorry for the folks it happened to but I didn't know any of them and I had work to do and sitting and stewing about it wasn't going to accomplish anything. To me, the best thing you can do when something bad happens is to acknowledge it, but keep living your life because in the end, it's all you've really got.

    If you have never heard the song written by Dolly Parton in the aftermath of September 11, 2001, you need to watch her performance of "Hello God" from the CMA awards in 2001. She is crying out to God, begging for time to make things right. "Do you love some more than others? We're so lost and confused. We fight and kill each other in your name, defending you." It ends with Dolly still calling out ""Hello God we really need you. Forgive us for we know not what we do."

    Garth Brooks has a song about the OKC Bombing that's about like this one (The Change), these gentlemen like to make us cry, I think. I remember watching this awards show and holding my breath as Alan sang, I remember where I was and a lot of what happened in hours and days to come.

    I was a 9 years old 4th grader, and remember the exact spot on the dirt road on my school bus route when I heard the male and female radio hosts on my local 106.9fm radio station break the news about the first tower being hit.
    Paraphrasing: Male host, "There appears to have been an accident where a plane crashed into one of the World Trade Centers. It wasn't a little bush plane, it was like a full sized 747."
    I had no clue what tower they were talking about. But I briefly pictured a bush plane crashing into the side of a 40-ish story building, and not doing much damage to the building.. Then I continued to blankly stare out the bus window, forgetting about it.
    When I arrived at school, we had a substitute teacher that kept periodically returning to our class to tell our main teacher what was happening. Telling her the second tower was hit. Then returning with tears in her eyes and telling our teacher about the people jumping. Then again when the towers fell.
    I didn't get to see what actually happened until I got home later that day. I just remember seeing the live aerial shots at night of the smoldering rubble, and the rescuers' lights flashing as they were searching through the rubble.
    I'll never forget that day, even though I was young and didn't witness it happening live.

    If people want to be offended, be offended at your elected officials response to the current first responders health situations and be outraged that we aren’t showing up for them like they showed up for us. And then maybe look at Veterans benefits and assistance after that.

    This song reminds of September 11th that day. I remember exactly where I was during that time. I was in senior English class in Texas when the teacher wheeled in the tv. All the seniors walked out and said they were all going to join the military to go to war. The next year half of my friends enrolled into the war. My parents wouldn’t allow me to, even though I wanted to go so bad. Many of my friends didn’t make it home.

    I had jury duty that morning. I get there and the presiding judge was Louie Gohmert, he said "ladies and gentlemen the United States of America is under attack". I knew about the attack before going to jury duty but somehow I just thought it was a horrible mistake by an air traffic controller.

    I was 11, homeschooled, with my brothers who were 9 and 2. We didn't usually watch the news in the morning, but that day my best friend's mom called and told us we had to. We were riveted most of the day - I remember carrying my youngest brother around the house and back yard, kinda freaking out. We did go to church that night - they showed Bush's speech and we all prayed together. I had older cousins living and working in New York and DC - the New York one we'd heard was a rescue worker of some sort ahead of that day, the DC one did (or had) worked at the pentagon. Thankfully, they were both safe - but it took HOURS to get that information. Of all the things I've forgotten or have difficulty remembering, this day isn't on the list... I especially love this song among those released as reactions to 9/11. Darryl Worley, Aaron Tippin, and Toby Keith's songs were all much rougher - and played WAY more where I live. This one was gentle and compassionate - much more timeless.

    I know exactly where I was. I was in labor and delivery giving birth to my youngest. By afternoon I was in an emergency c-section because I was bleeding out internally and had a 40% chance of making it. I didn't see my son till the following day because I was in such bad shape. But we have a reason to celebrate on 9-11 with my baby.

    I take issue with how comfortable people are telling others how they don’t grieve, memorialize, worship, respect, stand, love, or do being American right.
    I don’t know for sure but I’m fairly certain victims would be okay with this commentary. They would probably tell you life’s really short so stop fixating on dumb shit like this.

    Another good artist is Darrel Worley very good he also wrote a song about 9/11 called “ Have You Forgotten” he’s actually updated his lyrics to it through the years. Very powerful. Him and Mark Wills are great guys you should react to as well.
