The picture above is one that I actually noticed in the FBI exhibit at the Newseum in another description of September 11. If you can not read the caption, it tells the story of a mother and 4-year-old daughter on a trip to Disneyland that were aboard United Flight 175 that crashed into the second tower.
Hearing stories like this never get easier to handle. I think back to my trip as a 5-year-old to Disneyland with my mom and remember every detail, every princess I met, and even got to be Queen for a day... but they never got to share that or any of the other things I've shared with my mom over the last decade. That little girl would probably be starting high school, counting down the days to getting her driver's license and dreaming of her first kiss. I admit that I cry every time I think of this family and all the other families that were torn apart.
I hope that we as a nation never forget. We will never be able to give those that were lost the recognition they deserve but the Newsuem does all that it can to bring clarity and truth.
