This week I finally had a chance to visit the 9/11 Memorial in New York City. The last time I had seen the site was in 1998. Back then, of course, the Twin Towers were still standing. At the time, I had made it a point to go to the observation deck at the top of the World Trade Center. I remember the amazing views of New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty, and the surrounding area that I enjoyed from that man-made summit.
We all thought those towers were a permanent fixture of the Manhattan skyline. How sad we were when the attacks on 9/11 tragically disproved that notion.
I’m not completely sure why it took me this long to come back to the World Trade Center site. Certainly, those of us in the military at the time of the 9/11 attacks were busy crafting or supporting the nation’s response to this act of terrorism.
