Thoughts on 9-11 Anniversary
categories: Stuff I like to talk about
Today, as I walked my kids to the bus stop, I thought that six years ago on this day, the morning was just as clear with a hint of Fall in the air. That morning I was headed to Hartsfield for a flight to Jacksonville and wound up in the Crown Room watching the towers fall. You never forget where you were when the towers fell.
9-11 was like an earthquake; it was a terrible event that happened on a sunny day with blue skies. Today at the bus stop on a similarly clear day, I wondered if the world is any safer or better off six years later. I don’t pretend to know the answers.
I looked down at my kindergartener and thought that she wasn’t even born when 9-11 happened: a true 9-11 generation child. She will grow up with the threat of terrorism like we grew up with the threat of “the bomb.”
In real estate, the best thing about the job is not the houses but the people and helping them realize their dreams. I’m fortunate to meet some great people through my job. Their talents, experiences and interests always astound me.
One particular client is an advertising executive who put together this tribute to 9-11, the victims and our country. This client says what I think we all feel much better through his work…check it out.

NEVER FORGET. As bad and as literally miserable the protracted war against terror continues to be, never forget 9-11. NEVER.
