Patriots Day
I have the dubious honor of being one of the last people that ever stood on the top of the world trade center. On Sept 10th 2001 I had a meeting at the Cocoa and Sugar Board trading office at the WTC. Before my meeting I went to the top to look out over the city, because I had never done it before. It was about 9:00 am, I took the elevator, bought the ticket to go out on the observation deck, and commemorated the event with one of those flattened pennies, because my wife likes to collect them. I remember the face of the guy who took the ticket to go up the escalator and go out, I remember the girl who sold me a coffee and bagel at the snack bar in the top. Watching the buildings collapse only a day later was surreal beyond comprehension. We may be suffering under some tough economic times, but this is truly the land of opportunity!
God Bless America brothers!

this board has been around for a long time. it's fascinating to read through the reactions of that day and see it as part of the historical archive

Je me souviens
I guess a lot of us have some sort of sad souvenir. Here's mine.
