A very vivid memory that still resonates for so many over a decade later. 
I posted a related thread on a 9/11 Centennial that you might find interesting.

I am dealing with the anger and sadness again. I haven't forgotten and never want to forget. I am also saddened because I know there are folks who have forgotten or want to.
We were attacked because of our support for Israel.

I haven't forgotten. I remember 9/11 every time I strap into my 757.
Godspeed to the fallen, and remember that vengeance is an evil and toxic emotion.

I worked with Alex Ogonowski, who was from Dracut MA.
It was his son John who was the pilot on American Airlines flight 11.
Very sad day.

I worked midnight shift the night before, About the time I was going to sleep, the flights were departing their gates. My wife called and woke me up to tell me an aircraft had hit the WTC. Of course I immediately thought of a small aircraft since no one with any experience could possibly hit a building that large. I turned on CNN, saw the smoke and realized it had to be a larger aircraft. Then the second aircraft hit and I knew something was going on. I was on Delta's CIRP Team (Critical Incident Response Program) and I was sure we were going to be activated even though we didn't lose any aircraft. I spent the next few nights at work counseling younger (and some older) people who's entire world as they saw it had just fallen apart in the space of a few minutes that morning. I retired 3 months and 19 days after that but no, I haven't forgotten 9/11 or the pain of those people I talked to along with my own pain. If you don't work for an airline, it's hard to explain the loss and pain when an aircraft goes down, even when it's another carrier. The closest I can come is, for you LEOs it's like losing a brother LEO in another area. You didn't know him but you hurt for his coworkers, family and friends. It's was the same for us but multiplied by hundreds.
As dcxplant said, Godspeed to the crews, the passengers, the WTC victims, and those left behind.

Same here. I was in the German Army at this time as the message arrived. We all thought it was a Cessna, Piper or something similar. But it wasn't.
Our Commander ordered us to turn the TV's on. I was in a maintenance unit, so we had 2 TV's in the work shop. We all were shocked, it was just unreal.
Within 2 hours of the 2nd impact we had to double the guards on the gates and had to put up MG nests with sandbags and everything.
Nobody knew what else these Terrorists are capable of after flying Airplanes into the WTC. Luckily nothing happened.

Winslow’s Remembrance Garden
In 2010 we traveled to Winslow, AZ to visit our family. We also stopped by at Winslow’s Remembrance Garden. First I hesitated a bit, but then I did touch one of the beams. I don't know if this was right and it was a weird feeling to me...

I will never forget that day and still get angry sometimes. BUT, we must still remember that there are those out there that have dedicated their lives to destroying as many of us as possible and spend 24/7 trying to find ways to do it.
It is a day I will never forget. I was at the fire house having a cup of coffee before leaving after a 24 hr shift when the initial reports and images appeared on the television. I went to roll call and returned to the lounge in time to see the second tower hit live on the TV, it certainly took a moment or two to realize what we had just seen. My wife was a United flight attendant but at the time was a national union officer so was driving to her office and not flying so I called her and told her what had happened. Her office was swamped with phone calls from other flight attendants and the company trying to offer and receive information. I watched in horror as the building collapsed with the realization that many people were dying as we looked on.
I have watched several recent shows on the events and marvel at the heroic and selfless acts of the people involved in this tragedy. Those like the secretaries, office workers and passengers on Flight 93 and maintenance people who disregarded their own safety to help their co-workers try to escape the fires and collapse. They had no duty to act, but showed the utmost of courage to try and help their fellow man.
The police, firemen, military, and rescue workers also demonstrated great courage and determination but I suspect to a person would be embarrassed by the hero label and would say they were just doing their jobs.
My wife lost friends among among the flight crew that day and they will not be forgotten, nor will we forget the thousands of people we did not know.
