Sad thing is, when the news came through, I wasn’t doing too much. My mom called me. I had the TV on, but it was on a station that rarely had news. I remember that I had to go to town later that day to try and open a bank account. Almost everywhere I went had TVs on with the news broadcasts. The wonderful joining of Americans afterward was great. Sad thing is, that has declined again, and no one cares, once again.
