Never Forgotten.

One day I will have to sit my son down and tell him a part of our nation's history.

I will tell him how early one Tuesday morning, much like today, I heard our telephone ring and my father yell from his room. 

I will tell him how my parents, brother, sister and I sat in front of our television and watched a terrorist attack on our country.

It all seemed surreal. 

Things like this just didn't happen. 

Eleven years later and the events of that day are as fresh as if it were yesterday.

I spent the morning looking at photos and videos to remember.

I was able to pull out a few photos of my own from when I traveled to New York the summer after the attacks, and I remember the somber feelings at ground zero nine months later.

My thoughts and prayers are with the families of those who were lost.

Our country will forever be grateful to the men and women who risked their lives to help others.
