We remember, we pray for peace and we commit to love and liberty.
On September 11, 2001, I remember being at home and watching the morning network news program abruptly break their normal coverage and start broadcasting pictures of first plane's crash site at the World Trade Center, (North) Tower. Then, while they were showing American Airlines Flight 11's crash site, United Airlines Flight 175 flew into the second Tower. It was utterly astonishing. Next, United Airlines 77 crashed at the Pentagon. It really did seem like America was under attack by a foreign army. Later, the news began reporting the crash of United Airlines Flight 93 in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.
I remember driving on Pennsylvania Avenue to my office in S.E. Washington, D.C. and seeing faint black clouds in the distance just beyond the U.S. Capitol Building. Do you remember what you were doing?
