September 11, 2001. Do you remember what you were doing on that day? I do. I was waiting at the bus stop with my young daughter when one of the kids waiting tried to tell us what happened. I dismissed it and after the bus had left I went and turned on the TV to see what happened. I remember waking my husband and telling him to turn on the TV. I remember feeling shock and dismay. It took something that devastating for me to feel patriotism. But on that day, and ever since, I have.
