September 11th, 2008


Today is September 11th - which is still a very sad and solemn day here in New York City. There will be the annual tribute in light (pictured above) - along with the four moments of silence, the reading of all the names at Ground Zero, and plenty of tears. I listen to those same names every year - and every year they make me cry.

Last year, very early in the history of this blog, I did two 9/11-themed posts. One recounted my personal experience on that day (read it HERE), and the other was a remembrance of a smiling firefighter I used to see hanging outside his firehouse (read it HERE). Please take a moment to read them if you can - and feel free to leave comments on this post about YOUR experiences on that horrible day.
