We remember September 11, 2001
Today was the three month anniversary of September 11th. Seems like yesterday and forever, doesn’t it? After my MD appointment, I went in to get a coffee at a local Stewarts shop and they had lettered “We remember September 11, 2001” on the small white boards that usually advertise donuts and breakfast specials. That really touched me. No flag waving, no hoopla. I thanked the young girl behind the register for that.
I had been thinking about this for several days, and I was feeling pretty together actually until 8:46 when NPR joined stations and governments and schools and others across the nation and world in playing the US national anthem. They chose a wonderfully non-military/ballpark/parade version. That started the tears. I was glad I pulled into the parking lot at work a little early so I could gather myself for the day ahead.
