9/11 - 25 Years Later

Ground Zero

 

I have been thinking a lot this week about 9/11. It is still so fresh that it is hard to fathom it was 25 years ago. I went to law school in DC, was married in DC, my daughter was born in DC, I worked for two federal agencies, and spent my entire adult life in the DC area. I was living in Alexandria, Virginia on 9/11. I was in my home alone when American Airlines Flight 77 hit the Pentagon. I felt and heard the massive shock wave that followed. It felt like an earthquake.
