18 Years Ago

The WTC Tribute Lights (WCTC AM Photo)

18 years ago.....September 11, 2001.

We all have our memories of that day. It's one of those "where were you when" days.

I was in first grade at Riverfield School. Although I have a weird memory, I don't remember everything from that day.

I remember being in morning meeting in Ms Kozokowski's (Ms. K) (I think I spelt that correct) class. The secretary, Mrs. Breisler, came in to the class and told Ms. K. I don't remember how the rest of the day went, or what we were told. I'm thinking the principal came on the PA and told us something had happened to let us know that we were getting out early but I'm not sure.

The next thing I remember about the day is getting out of school early and all the parents being there as they got out of work early and everyone came to be with their kids and their family.

I remember months later (I think early 2002) being at Liberty Science Center, in Jersey City, New Jersey, and being on the observation deck. You could see across the Hudson River and see the NY skyline. What you saw where the Twin Towers were was two blue tribute lights.

For the past 17 years on this day, we have reflected on that day.

We think of all the civilians and all of the first responders.

We think of all those who lost their life that day, all those lives lost after the fact due to complications and all those who were effected in many others ways. I know family and friends who are thinking of their loved ones who passed away that day or in the time after due to the effects.

Some many people with so many different memories

Always Remember. Never Forget.
