9-11 - 10 years on...

Today is 9/11/11 - 10 years from the day the world changed as we knew it.

 I remember being in grade 8 on 9/11/01 and heading into science class. The teacher had the TV on and was showing the news coverage. I will never forget seeing the footage of the WTCs collapsing...

Today, I am in NYC and I headed down to the site of the WTC where they are opening the new memorial. It is closed to the public until tomorrow, allowing those who lost family and friends the first access to the site.

They are also holding a big memorial service. I stood there for an hour and a half while selected people stood up and read the names of those who lost their lives. Each one reading the names had lost someone in the attacks. Their personal messages to those they lost were truly heartbreaking.

The ones that upset me the most were the ones where the loved ones said "you were never found".

To all those who died on 9/11/01 - I hope you are resting in peace. And to those who lost loved ones, I hope you have found solace and comfort.
