I remember.

I remember 9/11.

I remember when the planes hit, and at first we thought it was an accident.

I remember the horror when the whole world realized it was happening on purpose.

I remember the planes falling and the pentagon smoldering.

I remember the bodies falling from windows.

I remember the firemen and policemen rushing forward.

I remember the smoke.

I remember the running.

I remember the screams.

I remember the panic.

I remember when the towers fell.

I remember when New York City looked like hell.

I remember Donald Trump walking amongst the wreckage.

I remember Rudy Gulianni too.

I remember the death tolls.

I remember the tears and the anger.

I remember when I got hooked on round the clock news.

I remember the patriotism and love and yellow ribbons.

I remember the hatred for Islam that I for one will never let go.

I remember it was something much more than some people doing something.

I remember the rides and memorials and remembrance.

I remember when the foundation of America was shaken, and I remember that we haven’t been quite right ever since.

I remember.
