Tattered Reminders
[?]
Submitted by Northwest Harley Blog
Like many of you I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on the morning of 9/11.
The sunrise was starting to peek out and you could tell it was going to be a beautiful fall September morning in 2001. I was up early preparing for a flight to the bay area and in an odd and very uncharacteristic behavior I had the TV on — which I never do — as I prepped. The announcer interrupted the show about a plane crashing into the World Trade Center and in a few minutes I watched the 2nd plane crash. I didn’t know what was going on, but knew it wasn’t no accident. I have friends who work in the city and I went to the PC and sent off a couple emails. I never did make my flight and remember feeling a sense of violation and anger at both the perpetrators and our governments failure as I watched the TV news for most of the day.
It’s hard to believe that it’s been 8 years ago. The Alan Jackson song, “Where were you when the world stopped turning?” best sums up my feelings today and I wanted to dedicate this post to the victims and hero’s of 9/11. And while we’re at it let’s not forget the military on the battlefield.
