I remember that 9-11-2001 began as a normal workday. I remember the radio announcer saying that a plane had just hit one of the twin towers. I remember traffic coming to a complete standstill on highway 70 that morning as my fellow drivers looked around at one another totally dumbstruck. I remember standing in the lobby of the bank making the deposit for work and watching a tower collapse. I remember standing there not moving. My mind unable to accept the horror I was witnessing. I remember listening to radio at work as the tragedy unfolded. I remember the White Sox were supposed to play in New York that day. I remember being at work but I don't remember working. I remember driving home still in shock from the horrific events of the day. Dad was still alive and I remember sitting next to him on couch watching the attack on our beloved country on the news. I remember crying. I remember dad holding my hand as I cried and I asked why. And I remember dad's words to me, "You can't reason with a zealot."
For all of us I remember. Do you?
God bless the USA!
