The coverage of the 10th anniversary was everywhere this weekend. The main storyline I kept coming across was how have the children changed in 10 years? It is hard to imagine how you explain the attacks to a group of elementary school kids. Heck, I had a hard time grasping it and I had just turned 21. I think back to that day and realize that everything changed that day. We all lost our innocence and I find that so sad now that I am a parent.
During our football game on Saturday, they honored alumni who died serving this country since 9/11/01. It was incredibly touching and made me very thankful for everyone who protects our freedom.
I could go on and on about that day, about its impact on my family, about the people we lost, but I think I will end it here. I'm proud of our country and I really hope for just a second yesterday every American thought about that day and how much they love this country. 10 years later we have lost a lot of our unity and I hope we can find it again without having another national tragedy.
