[QUOTE="TCummings, post: 1897977, member: 20100"] There are 2 things that are permanently seered in my mind of the towers, First was when my dad woke me up and told me that something terrible had happened and I sat there all day watching the news play the images and video over and over. I was 2 months out from going to AF basic training, and this really sealed the deal of me going. Second was when I went to NJ to meet my fiance's (now my wife)family for the first time back in December of 2003, we went into NYC and my wife's friend took me to where the towers were, they were still cleaning up and moving stuff, buildings still had coverings over the windows, and the chain link fence was still up. I will never forget looking down into the huge hole that was there where the towers used to stand. I never had the opportunity to see the skyline in person with the towers there, but I know that when I have seen that skyline the last few times we have flown in it just doesn't look right. Someday when my son is old enough to understand I plan on taking him to the memorial, I feel that it is important for us all to understand our history. [/QUOTE]
