Twenty-two years ago, our country was changed forever. Those old enough will remember exactly where
they were that morning. The attack, now
known simply by the date of its’ occurrence, was nothing like this country had
ever seen before, and hopefully never will again. The images were, and still are, horrifying
and unforgettable. We were unified as a
country, and we rallied together in the subsequent days, weeks, and months. Unfortunately, that unity has faded away, but
that is a story for a different day.
I have had the opportunity to visit the 9/11 Memorial & Museum
in New York City. It is a fascinating
collection of stories and memorabilia located at the base of the Twin
Towers. I found it to be incredibly well
done, powerful, but somber and reverent.
My granddaughter, who was not even born at the time of the attacks, was
riveted. She came home with an
understanding, and true feeling for that tragedy that she would never get from
a textbook. I encourage you to visit there
if you have the chance.
Don’t ever forget!
