Note: Below are my memories from September 11. This post contains images of the attacks and quotes from survivors, which may be sensitive for some people. Sources are listed at the end of the post.

I was 12 years old on September 11, 2001. It was a day that changed the world for so many of us. Some memories are indelibly etched on my mind, while others are lost to the muddle of time. I do recall that it was a beautiful clear day, even in Kansas.
