I will never forget. I slept in that day, and got up feeling good. I had some extra time so I did something unusual and turned on the TV to see what was on. I knew it was going to be a good day.

And then I saw something I couldn’t believe was real… I didn’t believe my own eyes at first, but this was no movie. Real people jumping out of skyscrapers. Planes crashing into buildings. The whole world collapsing. Fear. Sorrow. Pride in my people who stood up under such terrible circumstances. Pain for all those who still carry the consequences of that day.

I can’t forget because it is seared into my heart and mind. I will always remember September 11th.
