In 2017, I had the honor of visiting the World Trade Center Memorial. The weather wasn't great that day. There weren't alot of people. And as I read their names, I just cried in the rain. I remember seeing the second plane crash into the towers at home that morning in 2001. When I got to school, even though we were in Arizona, it was chaotic. All of kids whose parents were stationed at Davis-Monthan had to be taken home. We were warned Tucson was a target due to our AFB and Raytheon. It was terribly tragic and it's hard to explain to our young people who didn't experience it. Today, take some time to remember those who lost their lives that day, but also to spend some time with the ones you love. Never Forget.
