Almost everyone I knew at that time lost either family or friend on 9/11. My Commanding Officer lost his brother. My dad had just retired From Aetna, which was located on, I believe, the 91st floor of the North Tower. He was actually on-site during the earlier bombing, and had to evacuate via the stairs. One of my cousin's friends was am NYC fireman. He had swapped days off with another guy at the firehouse on 9/11. That guy died.
Twenty years later, and it's still a gaping wound. I will NEVER forget...
Here's a tribute I enjoyed watching. Maybe because the song reminds me of when it happened while I was in college. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSHdJ1PN9ww
All of our hearts broke that day, never to mend, and so many still believe all of their lies. We the People are now living the outcome of the treachery bestowed upon us by our own government. Yes Becky,Stop,Look,Listen.Let me add... React, Speak out, Step up. God Bless sister.
Shouldn't the title be "Lest We Forget"?
