Growing up, I always heard the stories from my parents generation knowing where they were when JFK was killed. I never gave it much thought, I couldn't relate. But with 9/11, I now know what they meant. I had that week off, my brother in law (KDB67) and I were building my 2nd garage. We had the frame work done and were working on the roof. I got up that Tuesday morning, same as any other, and flipped on the Weather Channel. They said an airplane had just hit the WTC. I flipped over to Fox News to see what was going on and we watched the 2nd plane hit the 2nd tower. I don't remember much about the roof of the garage, but I remember sitting there watching the news, watching the events unfold, like it was yesterday.

Where were you, what were you doing 5 years ago today?

Same here. I woke up, watched in awe as the twin towers were hit, then the pentagon. Listened to most of flight 93 unfold on the way to work. At the time, I was PM on a large hospital project, so every chance I had that day I'd go to the ER to catch an update on the news.

My grandfather had died on the 9th (Which was also the same day his youngest son got married (my uncle)) and the 11th was his wake. I was in school that morning when everything began to occur, but had to leave school to go to my grandfathers wake. I have tried, but don't really have a good word to descrive what that single week was like, starting with the wedding, my grandfather, family, and the attacks...
