Never forget...

I don't know about you, but I can still tell you exactly where I was on September 11, 2001.


I remember walking in to work, after just hearing of the first plane hitting the Twin Towers. I couldn't believe it. I felt as if I were watching some sort of action flick. It just was so unreal. I remember watching the news coverage, and felt my heart sink as the second plane hit the second tower.


I can still see the images so cleary in my mind.


I can still see the rubble and smoke coming from the Pentagon.


I can still remember the stories of those who fought back, and went down in that Pennsylvania field.


It's hard to find the words that describe the events of that day, but a friend of mine came across this quote:


“Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last ...phone calls, the funerals of the children. “ - President George W. Bush, November 11, 2001


I don't know that I could find better words.


As small as it is, I want to say THANK YOU. Thank you to all of those who risked their lives to save others. Thank you to all who continue to do so.
