12 Years ago today a Whole Generation lost its innocence may we never forget 9-11

I bet most people in North America can Remember where they were this day 12 years ago. I know I will never forget. It is one of those moments in time that will always be drilled into our memories. It seems that I have several of those moments. I will always remember Holly Jones , I was pregnant when this happened and it struck me so deeply.  I will remember SARS as this was also the same time I was pregnant, and hospitals were pretty much shut down when I finally gave birth. I will remember the Berlin Wall, I have a piece of it actually. I will remember The Space Shuttle Columbia disaster which also occurred while I was pregnant. As time goes on it seems more and more world news is being drilled into my head. It seems to be coming at a faster and faster rate. Syria comes to mind right now.
  Most of all I all I think I will remember the War on Terror and the Terror Attack on the U.S.  I remember crying, being afraid wondering if this was world wide, would Canada be attacked. I was at work and did not see any footage until I got home. I was in shock, I couldn't understand how this could happen. I thought of those I knew that lived in the states, would they be okay. In all the confusion I thought our world has changed forever. The sort of safety my generation had grown up with was gone. We had never experienced the fear of an atomic bomb, the major wars that our past generations had. I will always remember this as the moment a whole generations innocence was gone.
In memory of all those who lost there lives on that terrible day, and those who have since lost there lives fighting the war on Terror, and those across the world who have lost there lives since in Terror attacks across the world.
