Next month I am taking my family to the memorial on our trip to NYC - I'm not sure how I will handle it yet.

I grew up in NYC, I have family there, I lost friends that day, and I will never forget it - and in my opinion it was one of our finest hours as a nation. I shed tears every year on this day - and I am so greatful I live here and in this country.
