I, too am watching FNC. I'm crying this morning, unlike 2 years ago when I was unable to cry. It was the afternoon of Friday, September 14th before I ever shed a tear
I cried this morning when the pipers brought the flag to Ground Zero. I cried when the children's choir sang the National Anthem. I cried when the pipers played Amazing Grace. I cried when the children started reading the names--and harder when I realized these were the children of those who died on 9/11. I had to leave the house for a walk so I could compose myself.
But, like you, I didn't cry on 9/11. I was in too much shock. It finally hit me that Friday. Unfortunately, I was driving, so I pulled over and just let myself sob.
Then anger took over, anger and resolve.
NEVER FORGET. NEVER AGAIN.
