22 years ago today, I was an entry level help desk worker for a hotel chain. I was alone in a storage room, adding asset tags to equipment when a co-worker told me a plane had struck the World Trade Center. I walked into a meeting room where employees had a TV and saw the second plane hit.

Today, I found myself on a plane, traveling for business and the memory of that day hit different.

Never forget the tragedy of that day and also never forget those that used it as an excuse to erode freedoms and justify wars.
