I don't think anyone is making this a political rallying cry. Just "where were you" stuff, like people used to do with the Kennedy assasination and the Martin Luther King's as well. 9-11 was an important moment after all.
Me, I got the news from a drifter in Galveston. He came up to us on the street and told us two airplanes had hit the World Trade Center. It was the "two" that got me. I thought he was raving. Then the television was on in the next place I went to. Everyone there was just watching the coverage, horror-struck. I think that whoever asked the networks to stop replaying the tape of the second plane hitting was right -- it was horrifying, over and over. It was traumatic.
