The bosses told us to blog about the events that happened on September 11th, 2001. It's something that, despite still burned into my mind like it was yesterday, I don't usually talk about. The first thing I saw when I woke up that morning was the second plane hit the tower. I remember feeling like I was still asleep and dreaming. I shook my head, I stomped my feet. I stood in my living room in front of my television for the next 2 hours. Unable to stop watching the horror that was unfolding in front of me. I remember my wife calling me from work, scared and crying. I remember feeling like doing the same but, not wanting to alarm her, keeping my voice steady and telling her it was going to be ok. But I didn't know. We were all in shock. It's amazing to see how people react to an incredible event. I walked to my wife's place of work to get her and looked around at all the people who seemed like they were going through their normal daily routines. There were delivery trucks backing up to the White Hen, the Pizza place was open for business, it all seemed so unreal. A few hours away there was unbelievable carnage happening and people were picking up subs for lunch. Like millions of others I was truly affected by the events of that day. It is one of the most painful memories I will ever have. But I don't like to talk about it. It's how I deal. I keep it inside and try to make sense of it. I was going to write about how we should look forward and keep the healing process going after 8 years and blah blah blah....but how can I tell you to move on when I really haven't? It's a fear Americans will always live with. Even if we catch those responsible and bring them to justice, the fear will still be there.
I hate it when people try to shove it in my face. Try to use it as political influence. Use it to make some quick cash. Play on the sympathy and shock of people who were truly affected to further their agenda. Who the fuck is profiting off of all that 911 memoribelia? Who is profiting from using this National Tragedy? Some say we should make it a National Holiday. In my opinion, that would be the wrong move. To shut down this country for a day would be letting the terrorists know they were succsessful. Thousands of people died in New York, Arlington, and Shanksville, PA going to work. Making an effort to better their lives, their families lives, maybe even their country. We should all do the same every 9/11 to pay tribute to them, and show the people responsible that we're not going to stop.
It's crucial that we remember(I don't know how any reasonable person can forget). It's absolutely necessary that we teach our children about that day, in schools and at home. When my daughter is old enough or asks me about it I will try to explain the best I can. It's my responsibility as a parent. But right now, even 8 years later, it's very difficult. I'm sure not as difficult as for those that were directly involved like the families of the passengers, 1st responders, employees. We are all trying to move on. It will take along time before we are truly healed and can move on. Many lifetimes.
I too hope people still remember 9/11. I was at work and i had a TV in the break room and watched as they show both planes hit, people jumping out of windows that was ten stories high it was horrible. it is also hard for me to talk about it. I went straight to my mothers house to make sure she was all right. May god bless us all keep up the good work Mike Hsu. Your friend Dave.

Generic drugs can save patients and cover companies big costs.
