Remembering 9/11

Sep 11

Written by: Keith Mitchell

Today is one of those days - you know exactly where you were seven years ago during the terrorist attacks and the aftermath of 9/11.

I was on the air (on another station) and Angie Irick called in a panic telling me that the World Trade Center had been attacked.  Going on the air and telling listeners of what was transpiring was otherworldly.  It was the first catastrophic event that I ever reported on the air since I began in radio in 1986. 

One thing that happened that day was a unifying of the country.  For a while, everyone was together, no matter age, gender, race, creed or political affiliation.  First and foremost we were all Americans  Seven years later, much of that unifying feeling seems to be gone. 

Hopefully you'll take a moment or two today to remember what you were doing and all those who died that day.  Fly a flag, say a prayer, talk to your kids about what happened that day.
