Remembering…
Today everyone remembers what happened 10 years ago on this day and where they were when it all happened.
I remember that day extremely well. I was a senior in high school and I was in study hall. It was a requirement that it was silent and to this day I remember hearing an air plane fly over the school, which was not uncommon, but it was a very short time after that we found out about the World Trade Center and the Pentagon being hit. I am sure the plane I heard was not related, but it still sticks with me to this day.
The rest of the day went on in shock. I had a a senior government class later that day and it had a TV, I remember sitting and watching, unsure what it all meant and learning all the new details as they developed. Then at lunch I sat with my friends and I remember having discussions about the future. I think most of us were still in shock, still trying to figure out what was going on. I remember very well not being able to concentrate that day in any of my classes.
When I got home that day I was thankful to be safe with my family and to know any family and friends near any of the hit areas were safe.
Today we keep in our prayers and thoughts the troops who fight for the USA and our freedom as well as the families who lost someone close to them in the attacks.
