10 Years ago September 11th






Ten years ago today I remember heading to work like it was any ordinary day.  As Mark walked in behind me, he said "quick turn on the TV, Howard Stern said a plane just hit the World Trade Center".  We did so quickly and witnessed the second plane hitting a few minutes later.  This will surely be one of the greatest horrors in some of our lifetimes, certainly right up there. 

Well today is 10 years later and we all still remember it so vividly.  A few short miles from our home is a ski hill called Cannonsburg.  The bank (United Bank of Michigan) that Mark and Matt work at has sponsored a wonderful remembrance of all those lost in this tragedy.  It made one's heart glad to see all the people walking around and actually stopping to read the little biblio's on each flag saying something about the person who died and in this way is now being remembered. 

We should none of us forget.

On the tenth anniversary of the event I was on a trans-Atlantic flight. The thought of how those people must have felt was very vivid.
