    Hard to believe that the September 11, 2001 attacks and this thread our now over 10 years old. I was 17 (very nearly 18) when the attacks happened. I’m now 28. This was the sad and defining moment for my generation. I remember details from that day pretty clearly. Watching it on TV at school, then at home. Also watching the President’s Address to the Nation, and the lighting of the candle on our front porch that night as a vigil for those who died. While no one can know the futue, I still hope this does not happen again.
