A lot of people have memories of 9/11, and yes, I will always remember watching the news, seeing the planes hit, and watching the buildings collapse, thinking to myself that I just watched thousands die.
But the memory that stinks with me brighter, is later in the week when I drove to pick Brandon up above Baltimore. Seeing all the flowers and flags hung from over-passes. Looking at all the people lined up holding candles.
And I think that is fitting that while I will never forget the horror of the day, the memory of our patriotism at the atrocity stands out more.
I just wish we all still felt as strongly and didn't need an anniversary date to show our spirit!
