Disbelief. If you ask me one word about what happened on September 11th,, 2001, it was disbelief. Twenty years later, it's still hard to fathom anyone doing something like this.
The Kalamazoo area's 9/11 Memorial ceremony, commemorating the 20th anniversary of the lives lost that day in New York City, in Washington DC, and in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, will be on Saturday, September 11th at 11 am.
The twentieth anniversary of probably the worst event of my lifetime is coming up in about two weeks, and I'm guessing I'm not the only one reflecting on it. The terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, as horrible and scary as they were, did do one good thing in the immediate aftermath. For a few, much too short, weeks, those tragic events caused us as a nation to come together.
