Today marks the 12th anniversary of 9/11. Twelve years ago on this very date in 2001, the most horrific tragedy in American history occurred. It changed our lives forever, the way we see the world and the way we are as Americans.
September 11th, 2001 began like any other day as I hurried about the bank tending to customers' needs. “May I help you,” I asked each new customer who came in, forgetting that there was a world outside the branch. Then the doors swung open and a somber-faced policeman entered to tell us that the world had changed forever.
The Arkansas Razorbacks host the New Mexico Lobo's Saturday at War Memorial Stadium in Little Rock and for this game the Hog at midfield will be red, white and blue.
This year marks the 10th Anniversary of 9/11 a day we will never forget. Several Texarkana organizations have joined together to host a commemorative weekend of special events memorializing those lost, and recognizing 9/11 families, police, fire, local veterans and military personnel. Everyone is cordially invited to attend these special events.
