I dont post to many serious posts but here you go:
Hard to think about all the lives affected on this day 12 years ago. Easy to relate it to my life as it changed things completely for me when I watched that day unfold. One of those days you know exactly where you were when it happened.
The ripple affect of all the things that day changed in America are still unfolding today, one singular day. For me it was an extra year in the army, but for some it was the family they lost that day, for all the others since then it is has been the lives lost fighting a war triggered by that day. Not sure anyone will be able to quantify the number of things that changed that day as it gets added to every day.
