This is the first year I forgot. I felt horrible upon the realization, having just looked at the date, but then somewhat oddly, I felt good about it. This was my first September 11th when September 11th was just a date on a calendar and not a painful memory.
I by no means take it lightly. I grew up on Long Island. I saw the firefighters rushing west toward WTC while we were sitting in my 5th grade Literature Arts class. I know people who lost their family that day. The loss of life alone was a tragedy, but it forever changed the mentality of the US and the world abroad. Things that were oftentimes relaxing and carefree became constant reminders of heightened security. Looking back on videos from the 90s, people were so much easygoing and more willing to trust one another. Families were able to say their farewells to a relative at the terminals before a flight. I hope we can return to that one day, in some shape or form, but once the world takes a few steps forward, it seldom takes a step back.

Kind of chilling reading that, as I remember where I was when this tragedy happened. I had just returned to my college dorm from calculus class, only to see my roommates staring at the TV in disbelief.

I will always remember, was there at Ground Zero in NYC on that day and will never forget the images that I saw. Innocent lives lost, as well as the heroes and their sacrifice.

As a Canadian I can honestly say we have not forgotten either and we had your back and we still do.
That cowardly attack was an attack on all of us. |
