911DA Story: Story
Today, September 11, 2006, has been a reflection on the past five years. My youngest son was only in first grade and now he is in sixth grade. The 9/11 attacks only seemed like it happened months ago not years ago.
My heart was heavy as I watched CNN this morning replaying the events of that horrible day. For a moment I had to tell myself that the WTC and the pentagon attacks happened five years ago.
I cried on my way to work listening to the names of the deseased. I also was angry that most of the radio stations and TV programs went on about their normal buisness. Like America forgot about 9/11.
I was in Madison five years ago. 70 miles from my family. I live in West Milwaukee. The horror and the fear that I felt that day will always be a part of me.
My heart aches for everyone who died that day. I only hope that God has mercy on the souls who participated in the loss of innocent lives.
God Bless America!!!
Never forget!!!
Love your neighbor!!
