An appropriate time to plant an American flag on a Nigerian website.
With millions of Americans, we too remember that day of infamy that forever changed the way we live and travel. Our prayers go out to the families of the victims and service men who have since also paid the ultimate sacrifice.
Where were you when the world as we knew it changed?
I remember where I was: in the middle of a staff meeting about patients in a rural state Psychiatric
step - down forensic hospital in Caro, Michigan. People left the hospital, going to stock up on gas and groceries. Some wondered if the world was finally coming to an end. Americans told me that this was war and we were in it immediately. I just wondered how I was going to get home 60 miles away with my one year old in tow in the middle of the confusion amongst the citizenry as to what just happened and what to do...
Here we are ten years on and the world has not come to an end. The original perpetrator has been caught but people's lives have been forever changed.
Where were you when the planes hit and what do you remember about that time? Please leave your comments on the blog.
