Today we remember the tragic events of September 11th, 2001. It’s been seven years already, and yet the ringleader of the terrorists behind these attacks still roams free. The war in Iraq still trudges forward and the hunt for Osama bin Laden is still out of the spotlight.
Hopefully whoever the next president is, be it Barack Obama, John McCain, or even a third party candidate, they will help protect this country from any further attacks and step up the hunt to bring bin Laden to justice.
It’s hard to believe it’s been seven years since that day… if you had a child the day of the attacks, they’d be entering second grade this year. It’s amazing how time flies and how old wounds tend to take longer to heal. In related news, they’ve finally finished the design for the WTC Memorial entrance… I really hope that the buildings are started (and completed) sometime soon.
So, as is custom, where was I, the morning of September 11th, 2001? I was in bed and had been woken up by Jessica when it first came on the news. I then spent the rest of the day trying to call relatives who live within a few miles of the towers. Luckily none were injured
Where were you?
