It’s been almost 10 years since I first wrote this post<\/a>. It was the day after the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and the country was in shock as we all tried to sort out our feelings and figure out what this would mean to our future.<\/p>\n

The hopes of finding many survivors amidst the rubble of the twin towers were not yet dashed. We didn’t know how long it would be before anything besides fighter aircraft would fly overhead in the cool, blue skies. No one had any idea that we would soon be afraid to open our mail for fear of being infected by the Anthrax virus. No troops had yet been deployed to Afghanistan to begin the search for those who had perpetrated the attacks. And no one was talking publicly yet about the “weapons of mass destruction” being developed by Saddam Hussein.<\/p>\n

We knew that we were under attack. This is all we knew.
