Because 1) it was not the first time that I became aware of how much America was disliked around the world, including within the country itself, and 2) I was only afraid for a day or two. Our chances of dying in a terrorist attack are still tiny (I probably have a better chance of choking on my dinner tonight) and I refused to give in to the terrorists by being afraid like they wanted us to be. Was it a scary time? Oh hell yeah. Am I still afraid, 10 years later? Only that we haven't learned anything from it. I was 21 when it happened, too, and I don’t equate my adulthood with fear at all.

He rushed to the roof of his dorm to see along with a janitor the aftermath just after the second plane crashed into the second tower. Our future daughter in law was working in Chinatown and saw the whole event from her workplace A month and one day later she and my older son were married as they realized how short life could be from this tragedy. "We will never forget" is the motto for today's 10th anniversary. 10 years ago today 9-11-2001, is a day “We will never forget” Patrick Ciccone, our youngest was a student a Columbia when I called him that one of the Towers was on fire.
