On 9-11 2001 my lawyer son was in an elevator on his way up to the 77th floor of the Sears Tower. His mother and I reached him by phone each individually to let him know in no uncertain terms to get the hell out of the building. It was about 9 a.m. A short time later, as I watched a BBC broadcast on my computer, the first tower fell. I called my son again who was now on the street and told him what I saw. No further words were needed. He ran away from the building.
For those other sons and daughters, the ones in the Towers, at the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania, the ones who couldn't run, no further words are needed! We remember them, the sacrifice of the First Responders, this day, and pray that tomorrow all the cowards behind the act will soon be delivered to their Maker.
So, let us join with the President and First Lady, and say a few words, in silence. Let us all remember them today and forever.
We've stopped running.
