9/11 We’ll Never Forget.
I’ll never forget.
I’ll never forget my dorm room that morning and my roommates had the TV on. We were like, “what IS this?!” and right away I felt this deep sinking feeling in the bottom of my stomach. This was real.
As we realized the intensity and hearing the distress of the news casters we just stood there, motionless. The usual busyness of a dorm hallway, the rustle and bustle, the normal goings about of students frantically making it to class…all still, all quiet. There were to be no classes that day.
Everything that was normal, wasn’t anymore.
As we solemnly celebrate the lives and the heroes of the 10th anniversary of Sept. 11th, may we never forget the lives lost not just on that day, but in the wars that followed, of all those that sacrificed their lives.
Thank you to the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces, thank you to the city of New York, the fire and police departments, and thank you to the families of the loved ones lost, for being an example of being strong in our time of tragedy and crisis.
