I have been watching the History Channel today and the memories are still as clear today as they were 15 years ago. My Daughter and I were in a hotel in St. George, UT. We woke up to seeing the 9-11 images on TV that morning. We did not immediately realize how enormous this incident was. We drove on to Las Vegas that day. Everybody was going crazy on the strip that day and the days following. Airplanes were not flying except those out of Nellis, so every time an airplane flew over, everyone looked up to see what kind it was. When we checked in to a hotel, we were mobbed by people wanting to know what airline we used to get there. We were suppose to go Mexicali to meet a friend but they closed the border, so Las Vegas it was for us.
I'm sure everyone here can remember what they were doing this day 15 years ago. I think I'll switch channels as the memories as to what happened that day are not good. It is funny how something that happened 2500 miles away and 15 years ago can affect you.
