Reeves Point of View: 8:45am, September 11, 2001
I was on the phone with a fellow law school classmate. My wife was at work. I was cooking eggs for breakfast. The sun was shining. We were talking about what we were going to do now that we passed one of the toughest exams in the country. We were excited about the future.
60 seconds later, she asked me to turn to the news to confirm she saw what she thought she was seeing. When I turned the channel, I saw a building burning. Not knowing what I was seeing, a few minutes later, we both witnessed a plane strike one of the World Trade Center buildings. In an instance, I asked if what I was seeing was real or something else. In one instant, our life changed right before our eyes.
Most of us cannot remember what happens in our life from one moment to the next. However, there are specific moments in time that we must ALWAYS remember. There are specific moments we must NEVER forget. There are specific moments which define our nation for a lifetime. We remember those moments so we can HONOR those memories.
