I know I won't. I was in a Hampton Inn in Memphis on a business trip and was checking out that morning to head to the airport to fly home. I was in the lobby and was watching the TV showing the first tower on fire and recall wondering if this was some movie. Then as I was watching the second plane hit and I realized that it was real. The entire group watching gasped. I was lucky as I still had my rental car and was able to drive back to Atlanta. Others in my company were not so lucky and had to take a bus, some to as far away as Portland, Oregon.
Never forget the people that died in that tower....some by jumping to their death to avoid the flames. Never forget the first responders that died when the towers collapsed. Never forget the brave people on the fourth plane that took action to prevent the Islamofascists from crashing into another building in DC. Never forget the people in the Pentagon that died that day. And never forget our service people that were injured or died when we invaded Afghanistan to root out those evil bastards that organized this attack on our country. I know I won't...ever.
