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.
