amen.......

Many events have touched my life, but this one hit me pretty hard. I hate to admit that because it seems to give power to those that would hurt us, but this is one day I'll never forget. I have a small tie to New York since I was born in Manhattan, and distinctly remember watching the news that morning. I called my father to tell him to turn on the tv (prior to the second plane's attack). Sounds cliche, but it's true.

It changed our lives. It is oft referenced, and in a way our freedom was reduced as a result. All the 'safety' we are told to endure has made air travel less enjoyable, unfortunately.

For those that want to know more about that day, here's the Wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks

Thanks to all those who have sacrificed in any way to keep our freedoms.
