As a kid, you wonder if you'll ever have a moment when you can answer the "where were you when..." question. Then, 9/11 happened. With all my heart I wish I couldn't answer that question.The Frisky Virginhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03782384806427143829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-31797981282435704332011-12-06T11:18:53.585-05:002011-12-06T11:18:53.585-05:00What a Valentine’s present…giving some guy your ch...What a Valentine’s present…giving some guy your cherry. I hope he appreciated it and you didn’t waist it. The rest of your memories are mine, too. <br /><br />I was standing watch on a radar scope two days out of Yokosuka, Japan, when we learned that Kennedy had been killed. We were alone as the fleet had left a week before us and only got a brief message. We went to General Quarters not knowing if we were at war with Russia, Cuba, China or California. In case you are wondering, we were not a war with any of them. <br /><br />I was at home sick, watching Regis and Kelly when they broke in about 5 min before the second plane hit the WTC. <br /><br />I stayed up all night with Judy (before we were married) watching the coverage of the first Gulf War and racking my brain over how I could get involved over there. I had just got out of the Navy (went in on a special program that wavered the age limit and gave credit over civilian job experience – I was a computer programmer PO2). But because of age they wouldn’t take me back. The program had been abolished.Coffeypothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02944074653548750642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-621014747394608482011-12-05T17:29:01.292-05:002011-12-05T17:29:01.292-05:00Ms. Fun, You are young!

At Someone I Love's school, they called all the kids to the chapel and the Head of School told them what had happened. Classes were canceled for the rest of the day and they set up big screen TVs all over campus so the kids could watch the news. I also remember where I was and what I was doing when I learned about Princess Diana.<br /><br />Elisa, That's amazing about the earthquake. I experienced one small earthquake in Illinois and it was frightening enough. Someone I Love says the earthquakes in California are disconcerting.Janie Junebughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10573607241326291404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-79931942375368216422011-12-05T16:56:46.785-05:002011-12-05T16:56:46.785-05:00I would say 9/11 too.

I remember watching massive boulders bouncing down the mountain. It was terrifying.Crazy Life of a Writing Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16064939499412649850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4501852053743373610.post-72123698236418636242011-12-05T15:19:34.934-05:002011-12-05T15:19:34.934-05:00I remember 9/11 very clearly.

They didn't tell us until 5 minutes before we had to go home. We spent the entire day ignorant to what was going on...AND I LIVE IN NY. Not all the way upstate NY, like 15 min from Manhattan NY.<br /><br />I applaud you for remember the exact day that you lost your virginity. I don't have the slightest clue of the day...I remember it clearly, but I never thought of the date as significant.<br /><br />I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing the day Princess Diana passed away. I was so upset, that I later learned and performed Elton John's Candle in the Wind for a recital.<br /><br />I also remember exactly where I was when I found out the Spice Girls broke up.Jaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15942630725082121374noreply@blogger.com
