September 11, 2001

AK, H, Tia D, and I pulled into Tulsa in the early early hours of 9/11/01 for a short-term move. I woke up that morning to AK running up the stairs to our temp home saying to turn on the television. I watched the burning towers collapse after the terrorist attack.

I'll never forget the attacks that day, nor the tremendous courage displayed by first-responders and leadership and reponse by President George W. Bush.

This was not the first attack by islamic-fundamentalist terrorists on the American way of life (ie. freedoms of religion, speech, capitalism), but may be the most memorialized and hopefully the last one of its' kind on our soil as long as Americans continue to remember that day and fight to prevent a repeat.
