Just to say "September 11th" conjures up images that are forever etched in the minds of all Americans. It was 8 years ago today and it is one of the dates that you remember where you were and what you were doing when you first heard about the terrorist attacks.
I was working at Waterford School, in the Dining Hall. I didn't believe it at first, like many others, but as the initial shock began to wear thin, I knew that the world would be forever changed.
Time has passed, life has gone on---
I look at the patriotism celebrated across the country on this day. I ponder the Healing Field of flags in Sandy. I see flags posted in front yards throughout the neighborhood. So, today I celebrate the people - firefighters, police men and women, members of the military, the everyday heros that stepped up at the moment they were needed.
To everyone around me I say, "these people are what's right in the world".
