Someday I may tell the story of how I came to be stuck on the tarmac of O’Hare International Airport on 09/11/01 and two of my business colleagues and friends, sadly, did not; but that day is not today.

However, the day and the terrible loss must be remembered. Some of us were touched more directly and feel the loss more deeply. But we all shared that heartbreaking event and in the sharing of it a bond was born among us. The resilience and fortitude and courage and sense of caring that was demonstrated in the days that followed give us hope.

So, remember the day; both the tragic loss and the unspoken renewed commitment we made to each other.
