When I took my sociology class in college, I had a project that involved interviewing people.
Sociological theory states that people will remember the most specific details regarding a tragic event.
I interviewed several adults regarding the assassination of JFK.
My mom even remembered what she had for lunch that day.
The human brain is an extraordinary thing.
It's been 10 years since 9/11. I remember it happening like it was yesterday. Listening to the radio and news over the last couple of days, people continue to support this theory.
One person was studying for a French exam when they heard. He even remembered what was on the test.
Another person posted the specifics of what they were wearing on that day.
I was sitting in WHS's library. I didn't have a first period class my senior year because I took a course at Blinn Community College. A student aide rushed into the library and shouted out, "A plane flew into a building in NYC." We all raced out of the library to Ms. Nelson's room. Ms. Nelson, our government teacher, had her classroom t.v. on, and we all stood in disbelief as the second plan hit the World Trade Center.
Prove the theory right!
Where were you when you heard the sad news?
What were you doing?
Regardless of these details, one thing is certain.
No one can forget the events of 9/11.
Today, we remember the people who lost their lives in this tragic event. So many children lost a parent that day. And so many parents lost a child that day. These lives have been so different the last ten years.
With a heavy heart, we lift these people up to you Lord.
God, please put your loving arms around them. Comfort them and hold them near You.
Bless our nation and the courageous armed forces who ensure this is still the best dang country in the world.
Bless the USA!!!
