No one who was in New York on 9/11 will ever forget that day. I still well up when I think of the firefighters a few doors down from me and how they lost half of their crew.
Even now, images from that day come back unannounced. All I can do is allow it all to wash over me.
I wrote about some of what I saw and felt 11 years ago in a blog post for Guernica during the “Ground Zero Mosque” controversy, two years ago.
The piece was a bit controversial. I was vilified on Twitter. But there you go: the price of doing business.
