I looked up 911 and it came up with a car ? How soon we forget but not for those who witnessed this day of horror and the powerful impact it left behind. For, me it appeared to be another day of work until I saw smoke coming from the distant sky over 30 miles away. I knew something was off and turned on a local radio station to find out the horror which just occurred. Immediately I went out of my way to donate whatever I could to the local firefighters who were running down to the rescue. It was also the first time I donated blood trying to do something, anything to help.
Through the chaos, death and destruction there was a certain resolve that brought people together that would never happen again in my lifetime. People would volunteer to be the traffic lights when they came down and help each other in ways that seem foreign today. It was truly the worst of times that brought the best of us out. 911 might be a car on “Googles Search” but to me it is a moment etched out and never to be forgotten.
