Remember September 11th

I will always remember exactly where I was when I heard the news a plane hit one of the twin towers in NYC. I was running late to work and I was on route 91 North on my way to AMS. The radio DJ said a plane had hit one of the twin towers. I assumed it was a small commuter jet because the weekend before I had taken a turbo prop from Newark to Hartford. I was shocked when I got to work and saw the news unfolding. I formed a moment of silence around the American flag out front. I did not say anything, words could not put the days event into context. I was also a volunteer firefighter at the time and went to the firehouse thinking we would go down and help. We never did because the area was overwhelmed with help and there was only so many people who could the area.

I will never forget that day and the people that lost their lives. I did not know anyone directly but my 3rd grade teachers husband died in one of the towers. I also have relatives witness the disaster.

I still cannot fathom why people would do such a thing. Pure evil carrying out a purely evil act.

God Bless all those who lost their lives on 9/11, all their friends and relatives and God Bless America.
