Remembering 9/11

A tragedy that is stuck in the minds of every American. I'm sure everyone remembers just what they were doing that morning. I was driving to work in Houston, listening to Dean & Roj do their morning radio pranks when they announced that a plane had hit the WTC. When i got to work, everyone was in the break room watching the news. Just as I stepped into the doorway to watch, the second plane hit. I thought i was watching a replay of the first hit. In the days following, it was learned that some of the terrorists had flight training at a small airport that i passed twice a day going to work. A sad day for America.

That day was our 25th Wedding Anniversary. It is kind of hard to forget that day now. I was at work also watching TV in the break room.

It was so hard to grasp the reality that was unfolding before us on that day. It was surreal, this couldnt be happening? I vividly remember every single thought going through my head, and when I see the images again, it pains me to my very core. God bless those families, the fallen heroes, and may we be vigilantly protected from such a travesty in the future.

Prayed for those that lost their lives and those that lost their loved ones this morning during the 1st moment of silence. I'm grateful for those that serve and protect us, those that are willing to risk their lives daily for us: Fire departments, police departments, service men and women, thank you.

I just heard a small bit of TV and it mentioned a phrase, " we should not dwell on the tragedy of 9/11 but rather on the immense humanity of 9/12". That really hit home.

I did take a moment yesterday and last night watched the history channel's tribute. They had one show where there was no commentary to speak of, just raw images/videos that I had never seen before. It was quite stirring.
