SEPTEMBER 11TH~

Tuesday, this day dawned with a sky of brilliant blue, the air cool and crisp... just as it did on that fateful September day, September 11th, 2001...A day that remains vivid and clear in my mind. September 11th, Mohammad Atta boarded a plane at the Portland International Jetport, an airport less than thirty minutes from my home. Atta shopped the previous evening at Walmart, the Walmart where I regularly browse. Mohammad Atta was at the controls of American Airlines flight 11, the airplane which flew into the North tower. The North tower was home to the restaurant Windows On The World, a restaurant where I have dined. I still find it difficult to wrap my mind around these facts. September 11th is a day that has left me forever changed, a day which I will never forget. May God Bless America and all the people who love her...
