Today, we remember

It’s hard to believe that it’s been ten years.  It’s a day fixed in my mind – I remember exactly where I was that morning. I had an early class and returned to my on-campus apartment to find my roommates watching the news, horrified by what they were seeing. While trying to process what was happening, some made panicked phone calls to loved ones who worked at the Pentagon (less than 20 miles from our campus). Others checked on the status of friends and family in New York and DC, hoping they were okay.

I don’t even know what else to say about the tragedy that unfolded that day.  Words don’t seem to be enough.

However, I want to share this video from the archives – it’s from The Dog Files, and although I posted it last year, I think it’s just as powerful today.

Bless all the heroes – both human and canine – who were there that day, as well as those who continue to work tirelessly on our behalf.  We are forever in your debt.

  1. Although I wasn't around yet, my Dad and Mom were and they told us all about it. We shall always, always remember. Hooray to all heros everywhere, every single day.

  2. The weather today is identical to ten years ago… an eerie reminder, and everything is still so clear in my mind. May all the nations of the world be spared such sorrow in the future.
