      I don't think it was on the 12th, I am pretty sure President Bush went to ground zero a few days after 9/11 but who didn't cheer when that rescue worker yelled "I can't hear you" and President Bush replied "I can hear you! I can hear you, the rest of the world can hear you, and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!"

      I think if we thought for ourselves instead of listening to talking heads on the 24 hour news stations we'd do better. I'm way old enough to remember when newscasters told us the news, now you just hear their opinion of what's happening.. When they told the news of the sixties, showed pictures of the Civil Rights Marchers getting attacked by dogs or having fire hoses turned on them, I was a kid but I could see that was wrong. I know there was segregation in KY but it ended right after I was born, or @ least in Eastern KY mountains. I've seen White Only sign in my lifr. So when I was a kid & saw those signs @ places in deeper south on TV I knew it was wrong & questioned my parents.. I'm not going to write this over, I was saying I'd never seen a White Only sign in my life..I had good parents who taught me to treat others as I want to be treated.

    I definitely remember where I was. I was in my 12th year in the Navy. We were on pre deployment leave . I was about to head back to my Ship in San Diego. When I saw it on the news.. I was due to head back 4 days after this happened. I was called told get back to San Diego ASAP. Since there were no air flights for a few days. I had to get a rental car and get there. I got pulled over for speeding in Airizona, when the trooper saw my ID he gave me a police escort to the Cali state line. The security getting back on Navsta San Diego was very strict. Had to walk from Main gate all the way to Pier 7. Trust me that a long walk with a full sea bag. Right away before even shipping out we were extended. Those first few weeks out at sea was pretty intense.

      I was in my 4th year in the Navy, was walking through the mess deck on USS Theodore Roosevelt, a couple of guys went running through and were talking about it. We were unable to leave the ship for a few days, we thought we would deploy immediately. Luckily we deployed on our scheduled date of Sept. 19th, since the majority on board were not prepared for deployment a week before the scheduled date. We spent the next 159 days straight at sea launching planes. Was my first deployment, I can still remember it like it was yesterday.

Does it really matter if they have more or less pigment? Honestly, I thought it had more to do with the fact someone doesn't like you because of different opinion and want you dead.

    This song by the great Alan Jackson should be on everyone’s playlist. It captures the shock, disbelief, pain, anger, fear, confusion that we initially felt on that September day and the many ways we reacted and coped with what had happened. I called my Mom to tell her I love her and gave blood in hopes I was making any kind of a difference. The fact that heartfelt songs like this are crafted so eloquently and cherished by fans of Country music is why I love Country.

      I remember watching when Alan Jackson (AJ) sang this for the first time. It was on an awards show not too long after 9-11. It was almost like someone put a big Band Aid over our hurt! He wasn't going to record it because he didn't want people to think he was just trying to "jump on the bandwagon" or take advantage of the situation. Thankfully his wife and others close to him said, "no, people need to hear
      this. He has always given God the credit for it and is actually uncomfortable with the attention it brought to him. There's a video of him singing it in Rockefeller Center 5 years later, so emotional. September 13th, 2019 I went to his concert. He still sings it in his concerts because his fans want it! When it starts most folks are on their feet, holding up cellphone flashlights, swaying and singing along for the entire song! 😥😐😊

    I was in my late 30's and I was at work, in a bank, and I was crying....I lost my Mom that year on January 7th, to lung cancer, at age 54, then my mentally disabled cousin died, then my Aunt on my father's side of the family, then my childhood friend who was the same age as me for one week, she had a heart attack and died, leaving two small children, her sister and I are best friends till this day, from kindergarten, we lived two houses apart until 7th grade, but we still all stayed friends, her parents and mine, her brother and her and I. Then 9-11 happened. It was a horrible time. I thought about my own immortality.....I started going to church the following year and got saved. It was the best decision I ever made.
    There were alot of songs and poems made during that time. Very well put. You understand....that's good. You tell it.....spread the love in a crazy hate filled time. We need to stand together, for our country and families are friends....for our freedom and liberty. Love that song. It touches the heart.

    We may fight among ourselves but God help the enemy that makes us come together,we are unstoppable when united.As a grown woman with a son that was a veteran I collapsed and cried for weeks until my son made me turn off the TV,he told me,"Mom,I trust God,you do too."I can only imagine how frightened you were as a little kid.God bless you and I too wish we could all remember we are members of the human race and love each other .

    Great reaction as always. This video reminds us why we should honor our flag. We should do so in thanks for all the men in women who serve this country both here and abroad and to honor those who died doing so. Our country came together after this tragedy in a way that I had never seen. Race and politics didn't devide us because for too short of time we were Americans first. I pray we can get there again but without the tragedy. This nation's greatest resource are her people and together there is nothing we can't accomplish.

    My youngest son was 6. Thankfully, while in NY, we're upstate, far enough away that they let the little ones have their innocence. I love this song because there were a lot of patriotic but "let's go get 'em' angry country songs following 9/11 and this was more real, more gentle and more"tribute!"

    I still can't listen to this song without crying. I was 13 when the towers fell. I was mad, and scared. Now I'm just more patriotic than most. Because we as Americans can get back to the way we treated each other in 2001 after this happened.

    I was 15 when this happened. I grew up on 90s country music. So I'm a big fan of Alan Jackson, this was the first song of his that threw me. Taking what everyone was feeling and putting it into words the way he did.

    I saw the first plane, could not believe it. I watched the second plane, and watched it again and again on the news. About 30 minutes later I called to my National Guard unit and asked if they needed people to report, I was told yes. I packed my bag, got dressed, and left. A handful of us was deployed to the bunker area where the governor goes in case of emergency. We got a police escort from the armory to downtown Atlanta. It was unreal, I never thought I would see where the military would take control of certain areas from civilians in this country.

I called my dad and then my 2 sons. I couldn’t go to sleep couldn’t quit watching tv. I had to work again that night. I felt like our world would never be the same and I was right. Never forget

    There hadn't been a war fought on American soil since the Civil War. Sept. 11th for so many of us was a day when we lost that comfortable feeling that we didn't even know we had. I was a police dispatcher and was scheduled to go to work at noon. After staring at the TV for a few minutes I knew I would be needed. The station was an absolute madhouse. One thing none of us will ever be able to say again is, "It'll never happen here."

    I was 19 years old and had just had my first born son 2 weeks prior. Living in SC at the time however, born and raised in NY. I sat on my bed watching morning TV as the show I was watching immediately switched to the live broadcast as the 2nd plane flew into the North Tower. I absolutely LOST it! I had no clue what just happened, my mind couldn’t comprehend what my eyes just saw! I just cried and cried. As I held my tiny baby boy and watching smoke billowing from the WTC’s, I knew this was going to leave a gigantic scar on the soul of this country’s people. Along with a massive visible wound in the heart of NYC. I know I will never be the same, nor will all affected by this senseless, unproductive, cruel, infuriating and heart wrenching act displayed upon us.

    I even remember the day I first heard this song. I was a truck driver sitting in completely stopped traffic. It made me cry my eyes out😭💔. I looked around and could see ever person near me in their cars that were listening to the country station. All of us were crying.
    As horrible as this attack was. The beauty of unity that we Americans had and other countries sending us love was just amazing. Who knew that by 2022 we'd be in this hateful situation. So sad.
    As for 9/11, I was asleep. Mom called me. I turned on the TV and was just in shock and horror. At that time only the first plane hit. My husband was hearing my reaction so he got up, all groggy and thought it was a movie too. He started watching right before the 2nd plane hit. It was then, we knew for sure it was intentional.

    I always liked the live version where Alan Jackson sang it for the first time after 9/11, now that stirs your soul. "He debuted the song publicly at the Country Music Association's annual awards show on November 7, 2001. It was released that month as a single and topped the Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart for five weeks; in addition, it reached number 28 on Billboard's all-genre Hot 100 chart. The song received largely positive reviews from critics, who appreciated its simple, largely apolitical stance. The song won multiple awards at the Academy of Country Music and Country Music Association Awards, including Song of the Year, and also earned Jackson his first Grammy Award for Best Country Song." Wikipedia. Thanks for doing a reaction video to this song. You might want to do a reaction video to some George Jones songs, I would choose " A Good year for the roses" with Alan Jackson. I would also suggest George Jones, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, and Trisha Yearwood for the Bradley Barn Sessions. You are a good man, young man, well chosen words.

A very sad day indeed. ❤️❤️🇨🇦

I hope he never sees anything like that again, but with everything going on now, I know that is probably not going to be possible. But looking back, I would gladly give up the free will people have in exchange for universal tolerance, love, and grace to each other. To get rid of the choice to hate for no reason.

    He talks about changing the channel to "I Love Lucy". We just couldn't stop watching the news, for days. I remember one night changing to something airheady like a "Friends" re-run, and switching back after a few minutes because it felt disrespectful. I remember at least once pulling my truck off the road and weeping. It was a powerful time, and this song brings all those feelings flooding back.
