Everyone can probably remember where they were some 11 years ago today when the terrible news started to come through.
Thinking of everyone today, especially around 2 pm UK time.

I still get goosebumps when I think of it.... and I found out about it right about this time, as it was happening... and because of my DD contacts! The other reason I get goosebumps? The way this online community pulled together as one and we all took account of where we were, who we knew from here that we hadn't heard from, and prayed together - each in their own way - for the safety of our "friends" whom we had never officially met but who we were still concerned for.
Last year my boys, along with a lot of other Scouts across the world, did a tribute of ringing the bells (church bells, VFW hall bells, any kind of bell) in a ceremony to honor those fallen and the survivors of 9-11 on the 10 yr anniversary. This year, we will be having a moment of silence to honor them.

National Geographic had a special on last night: George Bush and his memories of the 9/11, it was quite interesting to see and hear his perspective. He talked about how he was given the news and then how he watched the cell phones of the news crews in the classroom start pinging the news. He talked about his feelings, flying over the Penatagon and his first visit to ground zero. If they re-run I suggest giving it a watch.
