Ask anyone over 50, and they can tell you where they were on two specific days in history - the day President Kennedy was assassinated and September 11, 2001. Any adult under 50, of course remembers 9/11. Both were days that changed the course of history for America, but 9/11 changed the course of history for the world. While thousands of many nationalities died that day, many more thousands were saved thanks to the efforts of previously unknown heroes who gave their lives to prevent further tragedy.
While our military and first responders went to work that day knowing they could be in harm's way, others just went to work. Yes, this is a day that we all remember how fortunate we are to live in a free nation and what it cost so many to keep us that way.
