How Will You Remember the September 11 Attacks?
With the 11-year anniversary of the attacks on Tuesday, what are you planning to do to remember that day?
Tuesday is the 11-year anniversary of the terrorist attacks that brought down the World Trade Center in New York City and damaged the Pentagon. Ceremonies are scheduled nationally and locally to remember the day, honor the victims and celebrate the actions of Americans in the aftermath of the attacks. But now that it's more than 10 years since the attacks, there is a quieter approach to the anniversary. Those in public safety, however, will never forget. Saturday morning, firefighters participated in the Dunwoody Manhattan Memorial Climb at The Manhattan Condominiums. State Rep. Tom Kirby said this is an annual event, started last year by a career Dekalb County firefighter, to honor the fallen heroes on 9/11. Capt. Patrick Lindstrom had …

Where Were You 10 Years Ago?
Readers share their memories of 9/11.
On Sunday morning, on the tenth anniversary of 9/11, we asked this question: "Where were you 10 years ago?" Here are some of the responses readers shared with us on our Facebook page: "I was at work, getting some training mods together...one of my trainees came up to me and said that a plane hit a ny building...time stood still as the horror of the day went on. I actually left work and went home. Was glued to the tv for hours. Worried about my father who works at Ga Tech...they were saying that they were a possible target... what a sad day." - Sara Hummel "I was at home alone, and was heartbroken that people probably died when that "small plane" hit the first tower. When Rod Stadler broke into the music on Star 94 and said a second plane …

GSMST Students Remember 9/11 Through Music, Art
Gwinnett School of Mathematics Science and Technology holds "Tribute to Resilience."
Jack Goode, 15, was just in kindergarten when terrorists struck the World Trade Center in 2001, but can remember exactly what he was doing. "I was eating a bag of Lay's potato chips," he said. "It was in the middle of snack time and my mom had come to check me out of school." He and several other students channeled their feelings about the tragedy through artwork and music Thursday night at the Gwinnett School of Math, Science and Technology in Lawrenceville. Goode's design featured the Lay's logo with the Twin Towers burning behind it. “It came to me that it could be a metaphor because everyone in America knows Lay's," he said. "Having the twin towers in the background shows how it affected America as a whole, whether it’s the adults that…

I was at work at The TJX Companies in Framingham, MA. I remember people watching the live news coverage on a TV in a conference room. There were rumors that some of our co-workers may have been on one of those planes since they were flying out to California to open a new store. At about 11am, the president of my division called us into a meeting. We were hoping it was to dispel the the rumors, … more ›
