The horrific September 11, 2001, attacks claimed the lives of 2997 individuals. Of those, 42 were from Michigan, and 2 from Genesee County. Today we honor them.
Can you imagine the police knocking at your door saying they got a call from your address from a seventeen-year-old who smoked so much pot that he couldn't feel his hands?
When I think back to September 11, 2001, I remember the chaos, the anger, the fear, and the confusion that surged through all of us. I also remember feelings of mourning for those that we lost, thankfulness for those who helped rescue those who could be saved, and unity as the country came together as one.
