Like most adults, I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on 9/11/01. Watching the specials on TV today and reading all the posts online have brought back a flood of memories from that day. I honor those that died that day. The First Responders, the Police, the Fire Departments, and those that just showed up to work that day. The Military and Civilian employees at the Pentagon, the Airline Crews and the Passengers. All of them are victims of some the worst evil to ever show itself in this World.
I pray for their families and for our Country.
One thing that has struck me again in the days leading up to the 10th anniversary of the attacks is that the World Trade Center twin towers should have been rebuilt as soon as possible and built to look the same as they were before the attack.

I realize it's easy for me to say how billions of dollars should be spent. I'm sure somewhere there
was plan to rebuild the towers, and someone decided it was better to build a memorial. I don't know if the decision was monetary or if it took into consideration the survivors and families of the victims. In the interest of full disclosure I admit I do not know anyone that was directly involved that day. No one I knew was killed, injured, or even in New York.

My point is, I think the Towers should have been rebuilt within a couple years as a way to show the terrorists and the world that, yes, the US can be hurt, but it won't stop us. You knocked down two buildings, and we rebuilt them. It's a matter of National Pride. To me that would have been a much better memorial to honor those lost ten years ago today.
That's just My Humble Yet Correct Opinion...
