We all recall the horror of 9/11, however my tale is a unique one I am sure.
It seemed horrifying enough seeing two airliners slam into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The fires. The smoke. The plunging suicides. Then, just when no one thought it could get any worse, the nightmare grew before our very eyes as, floor by floor, girder by girder, the 110-story South Tower crumbled to the ground.
Like much of the nation, I was in shock, but as I stared at the smoke-billowing remains of the now felled tower, I turned to a friend and said, "You know what my concern is now, don’t you?"
"The second tower falling?"
"Oh please - hell no - I'm concerned as to whether or not a completely unknown member of the Illinois senate is wearing his flag pin or not."
