I Will Never Forget...My 9/11 Memories

I was having a lazy day in the dorm. I was still sleepy and in my pj's when I heard banging on the doors down the hall. Since I lived on a sorority floor I opened my door and followed the girls as they were filing into my friend's room. On the TV I saw that the WTC had been hit by a plane. At that point in time they thought a small private plane. And then....the next plane hit while I was watching the news. The rest of my day was very somber. I went to my afternoon class to be with the guys in my major (fire safety was my major) and watch the news. It really hit hard sitting there in a room of my friends knowing that it could be anyone of them responding to an emergency like this. The next memory I have was for the one yr. anniversary I was at the FDIC fire conference in Indy. Where we went every year to volunteer and meet firemen from around the country. That year, some of them were there only in spirit and honored in a ceremony. I can still hear the sound of bag pipes and grown men weeping.....I'LL NEVER FORGET!
