Remembering 9/11/2001

I would like to take this opportunity to rememer the tragedy that was 9/11 (the day that changed the WORLD - not just America)

Everyone who was around at this time will ALWAYS remember where they were and what they were doing on that day.

I myself was at school, the first i knew of it was when i got home and it was on the news, i was 12 years old and didn't really watch the news and didn't much pay attention to 9/11 at the time, it was everywhere and i obviously saw bits but not enough to really pay attention to it.

In 2005 i went to New York with my school and visited Ground Zero, even that did not put 9/11 on the map for me.

In 2006, it was the 5th anniversary and all the tv shows were on about it for about a week, there were films and documentaries, and on the day there was a huge media coverage of rememberances that were going on in various places around the world, including London and New York where families gathered at Ground Zero for the reading of the list of victims from that day in 2001, something which has become quite a tradition on 11th September, that is when i realy understood 9/11 and paid attention to the whole thing.

So i am posting this blog on this day remembering in my own way 9/11/2001, a day no one will EVER forget. Today i chose to add stamps to the end of my blog that relate to 9/11/2001.
