Recovering from 9/11....


The 10th Anniversary of 9/11 is quickly approaching, making it hard not think of what happened that day. As I recap the event, I can recall where I was, what I was doing and feelings of disbelief. I also recall watching the news LIVE as the second plane collided into Tower II. God bless us all!

Since than Americans appear to have came a long way and have located ways to coping with this traumatic event. This year is the 11th year anniversary and there are several events held in remembrance to the lives lost.
