I was at work as a high school principal at the time. I remember going from class to class and not much work going on as the staff and students were in shock. Many parents came in and picked up their children and took them home to share the moment. I remember talking to some of the older students about the significance of this event and how I thought our country would never really be the same.
In looking back it is amazing how resilient our people are. Things went in a tailspin for a while, but as usual we picked up and kept on with our lives. Hope this sort of attack never happens again, but it seems hard to imagine it not happening with all the forces of evil in the world.
