September 11
The tears came back last night. They never really did leave, much as the memories of the 9/11 attack have never left me. Perhaps it was the extraordinary documentary on CBS last night that did it. Or maybe it was all the news coverage of the anniversary over the weekend. Or possibly it was just my memories of visiting the site in December 2001 that came back so vividly over the past few days. But as with most people in this country and around the world, I am still greatly shaken by the attack, and probably always will be.
People will look back at 9/11/2001 from many different angles: Some will focus on the pure evil or the terrorists; others may think about the sheer bravery of the firefighters, police officers, ironworkers, and all the others who helped save lives, and recover the bodies of victims to help families achieve closure. I know that I will be thinking of the heroes of that day, in particular, the members of the New York City Fire Department. As one person implied in the documentary last night, the terrorists started the day trying to end lives; the firefighters spent the rest of the day trying to save them. Not much more needs to be said...
