An RN tells Patch where she was on Sept. 11 and what she remembers most.
On 911, I was working in a Physicians office in Washington DC. After the 2nd plane hit the tower, I knocked on the door of the exam room where one of the cardiologists who I worked for was examining a patient, which was something I had never done before. The look of concern on the doctor's face was evident. "What's wrong?" he inquired. I said "This is going to be the worst day in American history; worse than Pearl Harbor"I had experienced a premonition early on the morning of 911 and can only describe what was a feeling of doom. Like love or hate, it was a very real emotion. I told my husband that something terrible was going to happen that day. Alarmed, he asked me what I thought it was and I told him that I didn't know. That was not …

Patch is compiling a list of stories from readers on what they remember on the day of Sept. 11.
I was at home sick, staying with my grandmother. I called her on her car phone and she told me the world was ending. It wasn't the day I remember so much, it was the aftermath. When you live in a city that houses most of the nation's weapons, you learn early on that you're pretty high on the "best places to bomb" list for other countries. That's how it was in Huntsville, AL. For weeks after the attacks, we would climb under our desks when we heard the lawnmowers outside. That's where I was. Now, it's your turn. Patch is compiling a list of stories from readers about what they remember about the morning of Sept. 11.

Midlands memorial honoring 'first responders' to be dedicated in Columbia on anniversary of terror attacks
The 10th anniversary of the Sept. 11 terror attacks will be deeply poignant and solemn for a wide swath of America. It will be that and more for Lexington County resident Dan Hennigan. For Hennigan, a 60-year-old Brooklyn native and retired Army captain who moved to Lexington County in 2005, it will be the culmination of a dream. For the past two years, Hennigan has had an all-consuming passion -- to memorialize the dead from that day, especially the 416 first-responders who lost their lives on Sept. 11., as well as all first responders and military personnel in the S.C. Midlands who have lost their lives since then. At last count, 47 Midlands law officers, firefighters, medics and military men and women have died in the line of duty …
Almost 10 years after Nansi Najim and her family were targeted because of their Arab background, Najim says understanding has grown.
Nansi Najim and her father opened their Lebanese restaurant in Columbia on Sept. 8, 2001. Three days later, terrorists crashed two airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York, one into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and caused another to crash in a field in Western Pennsylvania. Everything changed. "We got a lot of hate phone calls," Najim said. "People were saying things like, 'We're going to blow you up like your people blew us up.'" People stole things from the family's business, including the American flag that was flying in front of the restaurant on St. Andrews Road. Najim and her younger brother had passed out flyers before the opening of the restaurant — named Elie's Authentic Lebanese Cuisine after her father, Elias. …

I remember a wonderful family whose father was Lebanese, and to the best of my knowledge they are Christian, and the oldest son is an attorney in town. The representation in the world of Islam is as complex as the world of Christianity. I hope these people have a great anniversary and I may stop in for lunch with Christian brethren. more ›
