I'm not going to tell you where I was or what I was doing when I heard the news. Everybody old enough to remember that day has a story, and there's nothing particularly interesting about mine. It's not important.
What matters is that none of us forget that America was attacked that day, and none of us airbrush the attack into some kind of mistake. I will never forget the people jumping to their deaths, or the firefighters running up the stairs into theirs, or the passengers of Flight 93 who thwarted yet another attack on that day. Those are the things we should be remembering today.
I'm not going to tell you what I was doing on the day JFK was assassinated, either.
Have you read 'Fall and Rise: Story of 9/11'...it was very interesting read...sad, funny...well written and so interesting. I did cry some reading it but I also read it so quickly. No, we'll never forget where or what we were doing. Just one of those events that will and should never leave our memory.
