Never Forget: 20 Americans Share Their Extraordinary Memories From 9/11
that advocates for health services for 9/11 survivors since many of my classmates have, like first responders, gotten sick from the World Trade Center cleanup.""I was assigning 75 to 80 officers a day to the World Trade Center operations. On 9/16, I was assigned to rescue operations and I worked the pile. I remember standing on a large pile of rubble and looking down seeing a fire truck about 15-feet down. I worked the bucket brigade for the day with a large group of police officers.
That footage carved the path for us. We were able to tell personal stories of those who recorded what they did. That footage became our historical compass. We were writing, editing, talking on landlines with NBC, police, hospitals, city officials just trying to make sure every bit of information was accurate—which was near impossible. As fast as we could digest all of this information/footage/stories coming into us—everything kept shifting. We'd write one thing and scratch it.
The entire student body and faculty stood together and watched the aftermath of the towers falling from the parking lots. We cried. We prayed. We broke up fights. It was so devastating to see our kids so fearful and not be able to absolve that. Most of us were just as afraid. "Concerts were canceled and tours were postponed. But as we realized that we wanted to get back to some normalcy, concerts started to happen again. We were the producers of. The generosity of the artists and production was heartwarming. Everybody wanted to help and contribute and all egos were left at the door.
I was one of the lucky ones. Because of my show, I knew where all my loved ones were that morning as they were with me, sitting in the audience to cheer me on. But I will never forget the shock and horror of that day."Associated Press Reporter Covering President George Bush During His 9/11 Morning Visit to Florida School

Muslim Americans confront legacy of 9/11 Islamophobia: 'Unspoken tragedy'Twenty years and 600 miles from Ground Zero in Lower Manhattan, the nation's largest Arab Muslim community is still quietly reeling from the 2001 terror attacks and a psychological blow dealt to Islamic American identity. 'This is, perhaps, the unspoken tragedy of what happened two decades ago,' said Dawud Walid, executive director of the Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. The group of terrorists who claimed to be acting in the name of Islam, taking nearly 3,000 innocent lives, set off a wave of Islamophobia in America that many peaceful and patriotic Muslims said still reverberates years later.
