September 11th

I have to confess that after 8 years, and numerous forwarded e-mails with pictures and stories about '9/11', I have become somewhat desensitized to the whole September 11th catastrophe. But after watching the History HD channel's special on remembering 9/11, which was footage of ~100 people with personal cameras, you feel all of those emotions again, and more. I wasn't fully aware of what was going on in the world in 2001, so watching it back now, makes me feel angry, touched by the countless heroes, and indescribably sad for all the suffering and pain, and crushed hope. And to remember that John's dad was in Boston, and was supposed to be on one of those planes, makes it that much more personal. It was touching to see everyone united for that short time and giving in their suffering. Sad that no one is on the same page anymore... And it makes me livid to see people in respectable and prestigious positions, belittle American heroes so much, to say that this was an 'inside job'...

God bless America and all her unsung heroes.
