Yes, It's been 16 years since then. No one alive will ever forget where they were when they first saw the news (like when JFK was shot).
A sad day for America in so many ways.

When things are at their worst, that tragedy seems to bring out our best.

I have shared this before, a very moving, loving, somehow uniquely American story of compassion and love, exhibited by a 24 year-old equities trader who grew up in NY and went to Boston College. 10 minute video, well worth watching.

And Hollywood finally had a good idea and made a movie about this kid, opens in theatres today.

God Bless this amazing kid, "the man in the red bandana".
