Never forget

Today is the 10th anniversary of 9/11. It has been very obvious to me all week. . .the stories, the pictures, the news clippings, that this was a day that I would never forget.

What was I doing that day?

I was in the back of an ambulance returning from a DOA call. We got a phone call telling us what was happened. We flew to the station to watch the TV. As we turned it on we saw the second plane hit. We froze. Not believing what had just happened. I hurried home to turn on the TV and saw the towers fall. I got nothing else done that day. I only remember being glued to the television, afraid of what else might happen. My mother-in-law was in Georgia, heading home. All flights were cancelled. Who knew what they would target next. Because the Ohio river and several large industries are there, some thought that would be a target.

I can't remember what I did last Sunday afternoon, but I will never forget where I was on that day. May we always remember those who lost their lives.
