What I remember most about this day is my four year old son telling me "When I get big, I'm going to stop the bad guys from killing people." He ended up joining the Navy where, in conjunction with the Coast Guard, they intercepted a boat of drugs and humans being trafficked. The traffickers set the boat on fire in order to destroy the "evidence." He boarded the burning boat and went below deck to free the people who were trapped. I got to tell him "You did it, baby boy. You stopped the bad guys from killing people." Proud mom moment right there.

I was 22 at the time, working the easiest job in the world as a country radio dj. We spent all day covering the tragedies from NY, DC, and PA. I joined the USAF in October and was in basic training by January because I wanted to do my part in making sure another 9/11 didn’t happen again. I spent the next 16 years deploying until multiple back surgeries forced me to be medically retired from active duty.

This is a song about a day nobody will ever forget. I just wish our country was at as united as it was then.

This is about one of the worst days In my life. It's the Pearl Harbor of my generation. Still today I have tears listening to this

What I love most about this song is that there’s no finger pointing trying to place blame. It’s about your friends, family and neighbors and loving all the people that are in your life because you never know when it’s your time.

On this day 2:30 am I gave birth by c-section and had just come out of recovery, I was very sad that this would be what everyone would remember every time he gave his birth date. My son is now a firefighter and was inspired by the great people that fought valiantly to save others. God bless you and your family

I was living in Hawaii as my husband was in the Navy. I had just woke up to nurse our 2 week old son. I turned on the TV and the first tower had just been hit. I sat there crying wondering what kind of world I had just brought my son into. My husband was deployed shortly after, my father who was in the Air Force at the time was waiting on the word but luckily never had to be deployed. 22 years later that same 2 week old baby boy is now overseas serving his country in the US Army. This song make me cry everytime. Great reaction.

I was at home with my mom. My dad was on a work trio. I turned the tv on. I saw the twin towers smoking. I told my mom the twin towers were on fire. She asked what? I think rest of the day we watched news coverage. Dad called us. His work meeting was cancelled. Such a sad and terrible day.

My uncle plays bass guitar for Alan Jackson. His name is Roger Wills. He used to play for Reba McIntire. Love Alan, he is such a great singer/song writer.

I still can't listen to this without tearing up. For whatever reason, the "I Love Lucy Reruns" line is when I get really choked up. I think because it's then that I realize that the simple things of yester-year ended on that day.

Alan Jackson IS country music. His voice is so amazing and clear and everything he writes is true to the genre and so human. He is an absolute national treasure.

What a beautiful mom you have, to teach her children to pray for strangers. Amazing reaction

If you've lived through it, you'll never forget. This was our JFK assassination, or Pearl Harbor. Though we'll never forget, we have to let it go--it hurts too much to hold. This song expressed half a dozen things I did that day, or shortly after. The planes hitting the towers wasn't the worst, even the collapse wasn't the worst. Watching everyone at the scene putting up pictures of the missing, crying about the last time they saw someone they loved, and asking them to please get in touch--over and over again. The cameras never stopped recording.

Every line of this song hits hard, and bring back clear memories...I remember seeing a kid holding a sign saying "please find my daddy", and I had a meltdown crying.

@SparkeyCox

The CMA Version - His first performance of the song hit us all. He gave this performance from the heart. I was in Idaho. Got in the car to take kids to school. turned on local Spokane, WA fun morning show - only to hear serious news. Got home to see the towers collapse - it was right then - I knew we were at war - we will never forget. Alan Jackson gave us hope.

I'll never forget 9-11 and I remember watching this performance. When he sings "did you stand in line and give your own blood?" I still feel it in my gut. This song brings me to tears every single time.

I'll never forget this day as long as I live, nor how it made me feel.

NEVER FORGET!!! I was driving through the security gate of the hospital where I was going to finish my internship in Radiology. I wished I were done so I could have gone and helped. I wept like a child. How could this happen on our soil? It showed me that even in America we can’t be assured of our safety. It reminded me to be thankful.
