But I'm glad that your family was safe. My friend was working next door to one of the towers and has devastating memories. I just can't imagine. :cry: It really does seem like a terrible dream, doesn’t it? But I’m glad that your family was safe.

Five years later it's easy to get caught up with other things, to try to put aside just how awful that day and the days to follow really were, but we can't. This is a good reminder.

Through the horror and loss I remember one of the images extremely clearly as I watched CNN in the aftermath. There were I think rescue personell trying to assist people as they exited a building. Some of those people who made it out were injured or incredibly shaky. One man who reached the exit was so coated in dust that you could not tell the color of his skin. The camera zoomed in on this man and the helping hand of someone just outside of the frame. The man coming out just shook his head and said, "No. I'm alright." That scene really inspired and moved me. This recognition that though he had gone through something so horrible, he did not want to take up time and worry because he was aware others were in need.

I will never forget the events of that day. My co-workers and I were discussing where we were and what we were doing when we heard. I was so scared as my brother, who was a Col in the Army at the time, was assigned to the Pentagon and we could not get through to him or his family in Va. One of the older couples in our community did lose their daughter who worked there. At noon, our company will be observing a moment of silence to commemorate those we lost, as we had a coporate office in the WTC and many of our co-workers were killed.
