Today’s college freshman was in kindergarten or elementary school on September 11, 2001. I’m not sure they could comprehend how earth shattering a day it was. Lives were cut short so very suddenly. Hearts were broken. Plans were crushed and futures changed. The television coverage will be forever etched in our minds - all those posters seeking information on loved ones and family and friends making impassioned pleas for their safe return. A beautiful September day morphed into a national tragedy.
As Oscar Hammerstein wrote in Carousel “As long as there is one person on earth who remembers you, it isn’t over.” Let us not forget those who perished.
