On September 11, 2001, I was about three miles from the Pentagon going through some training that the company I worked for had sent me to. I was in a computer lab, learning some new software and on a break around 10:00 a.m. someone said that a plane had flown into the one of the World Trade Center Towers. People started checking online and then all of sudden we heard fighter planes flying above us. I went outside and saw three fighter planes flying real low and smoke coming from the Pentagon. Everything was cancelled immediately. I still have a grainy picture on my phone of the military jets flying above Virginia.
The world changed that day for all of us.
Since then I’ve been to the World Trade Center site and back to the Pentagon. One of my resolutions for this year, is that I will make it to the Shanksburg, PA memorial.
Whatever you’re doing today, let us all never forget.
