I’m not sure if I am proud or saddened that this is the best 9/11 tribute we as a nation could muster…So by now I’m sure you have seen this photo…
A firefighter named Jason Harding went into a Planet Fitness gym in Knoxville, Tennessee yesterday, and asked if he could climb 110 sets on the Stairmaster, in his FULL firefighting gear. He wanted to honor the firefighters who ran up 110 flights of stairs at the World Trade Center to save people’s lives on September 11th.
Now as far as tributes go this is one man who deserves a nod and a handshake cause holy cow I could never do it…But it got me thinking that in the 15 years since that day…have we really just let it slip into another day? I mean I guess it was inevitable. High School Freshman today weren’t even born wen 9/11 happened. Many of us can remember where we were when we heard.
I guess this is how our grandparents must have felt when Pearl Harbor was attacked. I guess in the end it’s kinda fatalistic…Time and tide wait for no man…eventually it all becomes just history.
