Our memories of 9/11 are sounds of our phones ringing, our rush to the television, and our disbelief of what we were seeing and hearing. It was horrific. On this podcast, four Vancouver people share their thoughts, memories and how this affected their future. After a call from his mother-in-law Jason Deason watched events unfold on TV. He realized that what appeared to be debris falling from the burning buildings was instead the final choices of New Yorkers. His wife, Karena Deason, shared that she is now drawn to anyone wearing military insignia. Their uniforms remind her that we are not invincible. She is compelled to reach out and speak to them. She ends their brief conversations with a hug of gratefulness. Other Vancouver families were separated. Without the closeness of contact, a squeezed hand, a shared glance, or a hug they struggled to make sense of what was happening. The haunting words of David and Rebecca Hoffman and the expanse of country and ocean that kept Rebecca from returning home as planned resulted in a new choice for their family. Listen to the audio and share these moments of our Clark County neighbors who gathered recently at a community dinner and stayed a few moments to share their memories. The ending is our message of hope.   CREDITS Audio captured by Carol Doane Audio edited by Jordan Thompson Audio and video stories from Southwest Washington. no 5:37 http://couv.com/community/911 http://couv.com/community/911#comments Sat, 10 Sep 2011 14:00:03 +0000 COUV.COM staff http://couv.com/?p=4078 http://couv.com/community/911/feed 0 10th anniversary 9/11,9/11,audio,carol doane,doug van ness,how 911 affected vancouver wa,ken doane,pete meadows,remembering 911,susan meadows,vancouver wa 911,wayne pueshel Towering fir trees, blue sky, the taste of corn on the cob, and the smell of fresh caught, baked salmon marked the recent gathering of a group of Clark County residents.

Towering fir trees, blue sky, the taste of corn on the cob, and the smell of fresh caught, baked salmon marked the recent gathering of a group of Clark County residents. During the after dinner conversation they shared their thoughts and memories on the 10th anniversary of 9/11. Susan and Pete Meadows were deep in the heart of California visiting their daughter and delighting in the antics of their nine-month old twin granddaughters. Susan came home early, but Pete stayed behind with plans to fly out later. Wayne Pueshel talks over background music to explain how 9/11 changed how he views people Doug Van Ness watched the event unfold on TV and was left with a lingering distrust. "I think it really damaged this country." Doug Van Ness and Wayne Pueschel speak about 9/11. Photo by Ken Doane     Share your story with COUV.COM.
