Ten Years Ago


9/12

I'm hesitant to write something special for the tenth anniversary of 9/11. Like most people living in the middle of the country with no close ties to New York or DC, I experienced 9/11 almost exclusively on TV and online. I didn't really grasp the gravity of the attacks until everything here seemed to shut down also, even with no immediate threat in sight. It's easy to forget how disconnected and how isolated we are as a nation until something of this magnitude happens.
