I remember it all so well. First week of high school, in English class.  The intercom went off, and classes were immediately dismissed. All hell broke loose. Phones jammed. People running and screaming through the hallways. Traffic turned quick 15-minute commutes into 4-hour treks. Nobody had answers, and that was the scariest part of it all.

8 years since tragedy struck the U.S., and the world still doesn’t have answers to all that occurred. Regardless, 9.11.01 is a date that we will never forget for more reasons that I can put here. Take the time out of your day to remember the people lost in this unfortunate event, as well as the heroes on board the planes that stood up for their country in a time of need. We’ve made progress, and we will continue to do so in the coming years.
