I lived in lower Manhattan on that morning 24 years ago. I made a last minute decision to work from home that morning to finish my budget projections. I saw the first plane hit The Twin Tower and like everyone else thought that it must be a horrible accident—maybe a private plane off course… as Matt and Katie were talking in the background.. The Today Show. They were as clueless as we were….then the second plane seemed to come out of nowhere; hit the other Tower. Instantly we all knew we were being attacked. The terrorists hit Our Homeland: America—Land of The Free. Home of The Brave. I have so many memories of the next hours, days, weeks, months…as does every human who lived thru The Experience in real time; In real life. But now we are terrorizing ourselves; driven by hatred and politics—there is one thing that was my single most important memory: New Yorkers are not generally known for their kindness to strangers; but this profound experience helped us TO BE KIND TO EACH OTHER for 2 yrs. Let it be so again, America!
