On the Eve of Independence Day 2009

There is not much more to say than what I wrote in my new post, "On the Eve of Independence Day 2009."

Our Nation's history had begun a bit more than 225 years earlier, but for us all, time stopped at 8:46am Eastern time on September 11, 2001 when American Flight 11 hit the North Tower. I measure time now in the days and weeks and months since that moment, and cannot keep the tears from my eyes when I think of that moment or hear our National Anthem or other patriotic hymns. Those moments, from the shut down of the bridges and tunnels in NY City at 9:21am, to the collapse of the South Tower at 9:50am followed by the North Tower only 39 minutes later are a mark of time. My emotions still race when I remember those moments in time.
