911

The memory of 911 is still very vivid to me, as it should be to every American. I wonder how many are letting this event fade into the sunset. Remembering where I was during the time, I was working an International Convention at the Colorado Convention Center. With many participants having family that worked and lived in Manhattan, wanting to get home and were stuck having to find alternate travel to get back. Many large screens were put up to keep everyone informed of what was happening. My sister in law told of how she heard about the plane hitting the building as she worked inside only a few blocks from ground zero and how she had walked into work not that long beforehand wondering how a plane could do this on such a clear day.

This also being the date that my ex left me for floozy while working the Dave Matthews benefit concert at Red Rocks. It makes this date all the more uglier. Actually it was a good thing that it all happened, or was finally out in the open rather than sneaking around behind my back, no telling how much longer all the crap would have been going on.

September 11th, yes, is a very significant date to me on so many levels.

Bless all of the troops fighting for our freedoms and security and keeping us safe in this dangerous world.

I am so very proud to be an American.
