[quote=Anonymous]I was 23 then working at my first job out of college, living in Bethesda. I had been in NYC just two weekends prior to 9/11 over Labor Day w/e to visit my then boyfriend’s (now husband) family and when we drove home, we took the expressway that runs right along lower Manhattan. We didn’t normally take that route but this time we did and drove right past the towers. They looked huge that day and extra sparkly in the sun. I remember looking up at them as we drove past. Two weeks later they were gone.  On 9/11, I came home from work and went for a bike ride along the capital crescent trail not sure what else to do with myself. Not a soul was out. I was the only one-biking on the trail with the sound of fighter jets above me. We’d hear them circling above for nights to come. The next month, my friend and I took the train from DC to Dallas for work because no one wanted to fly and on the way back, a group of steelworkers boarded in Pittsburgh. They were going to nyc to help out at Ground Zero. I’ll never forget how friendly they were and eager to go and lend a hand. Everyone in my train car was celebrating them and we all felt so patriotic.  [/quote]
