I remember every minute of that day. I was in school at UF at the time and waiting tables on the side. I had classes on Mon, Wed, Fri. 9/11 was a Tuesday. I didn't have to work that day, so I had the whole day off. I was sleeping in, and my phone was just ringing off the hook. All my good friends knew my brother was in school in Manhattan and my family all lived in DC. I kept on ignoring my phone, but then my roommate came bursting into my room. She was in class, and they told all the students to head home and take the rest of the day off. She was like "get out here and look at the TV!!"

I'll never forget when I first saw that tower on fire. And then when the towers fell... That may be the hardest I've ever cried in my life. I was just weeping.

Like CRedskins, I'm getting a little teary just typing this. We will never forget. I can't believe it's been 9 years already.
