I feel sad for all the people who died and their families
God bless them
This would be a song for the people of West,Texas because it sounds like what happened there.

This song kept us all up. It gave us something to hold on to
God bless 911 <3
I feel really bad for all of those people that did not make it. I was not even born yet but I can tell what it felt like I love alan Jackson. If you like this on listen to God bless the USA by Lee Greenwood it is really good to.
I was 6 years old at home scared to death I was gonna die from some evil people called Muslims.
Amazing song!!!
I was in Tha 4th grade

This song is SO special. It describes perfectly what it was like that day and in the days after. I was sobbing my heart out the first time I heard this song. It's like a piece of our history and I hope it becomes a classic so Americans will never forget what happened that day (like Pearl harbor).
I was just a baby and woke up when the first one went in

Putting sheathing on a roof of of a house in Mesa AZ. I saw the fighter jets bringing the airliners into Sky Harbor Airport. Sickest feeling I've ever had. God Bless us ALL...
I was in third grade just getting ready to go to P.E
RIP to all those that did not make it that day

I was 8 months old .
I love this song. Forever honer 9/11. This is really country music. You can hear the feeling that went into the song.
This song is my all time favorite song by him. It's really captures what it's like to be I a horrible situation.
I continue to pray every time I notice the clock saying 9:11. You should too
Amazing song. Never forget 9/11.. I still remember what I was doing when I found out..
yeah country is the only genre that will mention praying to god, going to church and being a believer. and those songs are openly played on the radio without fear of 'offending' another religion
I'm was a firefighter during 9/11 and I will never forget all the brother I lost that day FDNY 343
Omg, I'm was only two when this happened but now it still scares me to death...
This is a beautiful song. God bless nine eleven victims and survivors.
It was the day my dad opened his business! I was just a little kid. I had no idea what was going on, but I was scared for my dad. Pray for the soldiers and heros who died that day and their families. Thank God for the heros and soldiers that are still here with us, fighting for our lives!
I was 7
I was only 12
Country Music is so much better than any modern music; it gives you songs like this; truly poignant, something we all can relate with. I was 3 during the 9/11 attacks; they scar me to this day.

drangel1974, I,m sure you will never forget that moment.

That morning I was on my way to work to Wall Street and I was going to stopped at Border's bookstore at the WTC to buy a book for my mother. I changed my mind because I was running late for work by the time i got to work the planes had hit the towers, I ran down stairs (38 floors) & an walked home covered in that black ash. I still work a block away from WTC and still with me everyday.

I love this song
i lost my boyfriend, Luke and best friend, Jesse, in 9/11. Every time I hear this song, it reminds me of them. I miss them so much.
R.I.P Luke and Jesse!
I don't have a story about that day, infact I found out about it the day after. That made the day more thrice accursed
Powerful Song. Wow. I still can barely prevent myself from crying. Wow
Listening to this song somtimes makes people wonder why they didn't go to their job in one of the twin towers and if your one of those people, god has his reasons for the reason you wheren't there.
Just started crying at work. Almost ten years later and you can still feel the pain. Amazing song.
Assome Words & Song All you Who Stand Aginst People who don't Repect

i was in 1st grade to the teachers told us what happened, and when i got home i saw my mom crying on the couch.
Never forget 9/11
I remember too. I was in 1st grade, and we had just finished singing 'Happy Birthday' to one of my friends when one of the kids from the other class ran in and yelled, "Turn on the TV!" When we saw what was happening, we were shocked, but I don't think we really knew what was going on.
I remember i was in El salvador and remember seeing what was happening in the US and just couldnt believe it.
BEST SONG EVER!!!!!!
I remember every single thing about that day. Every little detail. I can still see one of the big bosses standing on a desk with a radio held high in the air, cause that was the only way we could get any station to come in clear. I watched more TV in the next couple days, then I had for a year.
