In Memorium

9/11 was 13 years ago today.  I don't remember a whole lot of that day, but it is memorable to me.  I remember I was kept home from school, my dad's friend Brad was at our house and he couldn't go home because the airports were shut down.  Somebody burned something, and the smoke detector went off, waking me up.  I remember everyone was just watching the TV and I wish I could say more.  As I got older, everything makes more sense of what actually happened.  The towers falling, the Pentagon getting hit, all that.  It's sad, so very sad, both what happened, and the fact that I barely remember anything.  People ask me why I still want to fly planes after something like that has happened.  Do you have any idea how much stricter the FAA has made things?  It's so much safer now.  Hopefully, something to this extent will never happen again.  But since it did, my heart and prayers go out to everyone who was affected in some way by the tragedy of 9/11.
