It hits deep. It hits deep to know what happened on the day of September 11, 2001.
Today our Freedom Tour group visited the Pentagon Memorial Site. It not only hurts to see all 184 innocent names carved into the benches but it hits close to home to actually be there - physically - with those people by sitting on those very benches. As we arrived at the memorial it didn't seem as though this memorial was going to be any different than the others we have seen. As soon as we started to walk around and see the names and feel the benches it started to sink in. The tears began to flow down our faces. Even though many of us didn't know anyone personally who died in the disaster, they knew what happened and how it effected innocent people. People began to put themselves into the places of those killed in the crash. This effected us emotionally. Overall it was a powerful and emotional day but we got through it together. This will be a memory that will never fade.
