The Military Life
In Remembrance of 9-11
Flags are flying half-staff today in remembrance of the events that took place on Tuesday, September 11, 2011. And rightly so. Most Americans back then believed that simultaneous terrorist attacks could never happen to the United States of America, but they did. I watched in horror, as did most of the nation, while they aired on national television.
The Twin Towers. The Pentagon. Shanksville, Pennsylvania. For over a decade, those four coordinated acts of terror affected and altered the lives of millions of citizens. From those on the front lines to those who were inspired to go to the front lines, our nation’s citizens held the memory of that day to be as significant for my generation as the bombing of Pearl Harbor was for a previous one.
Where were you on 9-11? If you remember that day, then you have a story to tell. I remember that day well, and I’d like to share my story about that time.
