Ten years later

I was in a business meeting when Linda called me to say that a plane flew into a World Trade Tower. I dismissed it until she called back to say a second plane hit the towers. We turned on the conference room television and watched 9-11 unfold. On the way home from work that day I noticed the roads were empty and strangely the sky was empty too. You don't realize how you become use to seeing planes trail across the sky until there are none - all grounded due to what happened.

9-11 defined our 30's. The wars we caught, the sacrifices we made, the people we elected, and the nation we became were forged in in that 110 minutes on 9-11.

Where were you on 9-11?
