It's a bit jolting to see the twin towers.

Wow. I still can't look at this without a pang. Happy Fourth, everyone. Freedom certainly does not come easy.

Wasn’t there, but does anyone else remember that all the churches and bell towers and carillons rang at the same time across the country?
-
Yup! I believe it was at 2pm EDT. I was 14, we lived in DC, & I joined in festivities by ringing the dinner bell on our front porch.

Oh, thank you!! I was 11 and stood at the end of the driveway in my small hometown in Illinois and heard them.

I recall watching Walter Cronkite's coverage of that day before we (& 3 million others) headed out to watch the fireworks at the Washington Monument. I so enjoyed it all I vowed to live to 114 so I could celebrate the Tricentennial! (No longer interested
). Bittersweet memories. -
I feel you. These are dark times.

Gut-Wrenching to see the Twin Towers. I remember all the celebrations.
Glad I didn't know, the way it all would end, the way it all would go...
