9/11 Anniversary The Atlantic

[Lecka]

I got the current issue of The Atlantic magazine on my Kindle, and it has a very touching story on the 20th anniversary of 9/11.  I would recommend it to anyone interested.

Do you have a link? I didn't see it readily, and it looks like there are multiple articles on this published recently.

I read it the other day.  It was poignant.  I know a couple firefighters who died and I had a tangential cousin who worked for Marsh and McLennon.  It’s very hard for me to wrap my mind around it being 20 years.

WOW! 20 years!  I remember when year 18 and 19 quickly approached thinking then the 20th anniversary would be coming up but the pandemic hit and now ANOTHER year has gone by to THAT 20th year.  

Thank you for the reminder.

 I do think there is still a print version.

It really snuck up on me, too, with the pandemic.  I just did not realize so much time had passed.

That Atlantic article was absolutely fascinating. I was especially fascinated by the fact that the parents managed to stay together even though the dad became a total conspiracy nut.
