But I’ll never forget what happened that day.

Youngsters born in the past five years will see 9/11 as “history”, not as that heart-stopping moment when we watched the planes crashing into the towers and shared the incomprehension of the onlookers with their gasps of disbelief.

Nature heals over the wounds however bad they are. The same is true of New Orleans, another monumental catastrophe for America we have to be reminded of to remember it actually happened.

I will never forget the feelings of outrage, anger and sorrow I felt that day.
And as a visitor from abroad, I think it brought home just how real terrorism and its repercussions are for Americans. God bless America.

In fact, Lt. Murphy’s picture above sits on my desk every day to remind me that I can’t forget.

I certainly wasn’t expecting to read something like this until September came around again, when many people are sparked to write their recollections of 9/11. Anyway, thanks.

Thank you for the wonderful post. The symbolism of 9/11 rings true for me as well. I had been in Newark a few weeks before 9/11 on a business trip, and when flying out back to Minneapolis, I had a perfect view of the twin towers reflecting the setting sun. A beutiful site that was etched in my mind at the time, but I only reflected on a month later

I also will never forget.

Ugh.

In any event, 9/11 has never been about politics to me – coming from a family with a long military and law enforcement tradition, 9/11 was about understanding the heroism of ordinary people – but also of the people that knew what they were getting themselves into when they climbed on the fire truck in Brooklyn and rode across the bridge into Manhattan that morning – looking at the burning towers.

9/11’s been more philosophical to me than anything else. Besides, my politics views are already well known :)

Thanks for all of the kind words,
Matt

No matter one’s political view – 9/11 is an event that has changed many of our lives – personally, professionally, and spiritually in many cases.

That ‘s what gets me: the whole thing has been hijacked by politics since then – I don’t think they (the murderous scum) cared which political persuasion you came from.

Personally, I will never forget.

Thanks Matt – good to see this written without any political slant.

When I get back to the East Coast here in a few weeks. I reflect a lot. I use to go out to the World Trade Center about once a week. It’s a great place to meditate and to realize the shortness of life and to reflect on the sacrifices that so many have given for other people.

This post was special and unexpected. Classy.
