Hi TWC,
To my fellow Americans and anyone else who remembers, I just wanted to remind you all to take a moment to reflect on today. I remember I was getting ready for school that morning, and I came downstairs ready to roll. I was puzzled to find my mom sobbing in front of the TV. I processed as much of what had happened as an 8 year old could I suppose, but my only solace was the prospect of national vengeance.
Looking back, the event and subsequent history are complicated. Nevertheless, we can all spare a simple act of somber remembrance for the victims and for the heroic first responders who died that day just doing their duty.
Where were you when you got the news?
