Today is the 8th anniversary of the 9/11/01 terrorist attacks that brought down the iconic Twin Towers, took thousands of American lives and damaged God knows how many families. I'll never, ever forget where I was that morning. I was a sophomore in high school sitting in my second period class when my teacher flipped on the TV. The first plane had struck the first tower. As we continued to watch the news coverage, I saw the second plane hit live. Needless to say, I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I'll never forget the sight of seeing the towers collapse. It'll stay with me forever.
Today I pray for the thousands that lost their lives and the families they left behind. Today I remember the heros of Flight 93. They stood up to the hyjackers and likely saved hundreds, if not thousands of lives. Today I salute the members of the New York City Fire Department and the brave firefighters who lost their lives. Your sacrifice will not be forgotten.
