I can honestly say that I am glad its September 12, 2011.  10 years and 1 day past the anniversary of one of the worst things to happen on American soil.  I don’t mean to sound glad that is gone so that we will never remember it or that we will put it in our past.  We never will.  The people that lost their lives that day will never be forgotten.  They paid a debt for America that we can never begin to repay.  There was a commercial that ran not long after and it showed a row of houses then the next screen was plain text that said “With the attacks of Sept 11, terrorists hoped to change America forever” and the next screen is that same row of houses with US flags everywhere and the caption says “ They did”.  I believe that still rings true today.  But living in DC, you just accept your kind of a target or at least more so than say Fargo, North Dakota.  But as the anniversary approached, the city became very tense...
