No Day Shall Erase You: The Story of 9/11 As Told at the September 11 Museum | 
Today is always hard for me. It was my first month in WV. I watched the towers fall in disbelief from my new job as a Spec Ed teacher. I was cut off for a week from my family and close friends. My friend from HS was there as a cop. My uncle was there as a fire man- my cousin was there as a fireman, my brother was there after- initially to rescue people but soon to recover remains the towers were no longer in view from my childhood kitchen window.

Chrissyreadit The stories of hope and loss live in my head and heart today because these were people i knew and know. They really are the heroes in our stories. I‘d like to think the flags at half mast continue to honor them as well. My cousin in now a Fire Chief. On that day he was in a training- while his company left to answer the call. He jumped on with a different company. His entire company died that day. I did not know any of them but i still grieve for 3w

Susanita It‘s also my mom‘s birthday ❤️🩹 3w
ImperfectCJ What sticks with me most about that day was the confusion followed by horrible realization, shock, and sadness, then fear and uncertainty about what else was going to happen. Then the eerily quiet skies afterward. It's a collective trauma that is unfortunately overshadowed by so many things that have happened in the interim. Thank you for sharing your story. 3w
