Thanks!
Maybe this thread is not the place, and if so mods please remove, but September 11 is one of those days where it is routinely asked "where were you, when...?".
My "where were you": I was on a train in the Meadowlands approaching Hoboken when passengers started pointing to the smoke coming from the World Trade Center. I arrived in my office in Midtown shortly after the second plane hit. After making sure my then-girlfriend was safe, I left the office and joined a number of other military personnel stuck in the city who joined with the NYPD and FDNY in the search and rescue effort, neglecting to mention I was no longer actually in the Army. After several days, and after the search and rescue effort became a search and recovery, I returned to work and so-called "normal" life, although I continued to return to Ground Zero on weekends to help out where I could.
Thank you Dave. Did you take the PATH into the city that day?
