9/11 will always be a day of remembrance for all the world due to the atrocities that took place on that day in 2001. I remember that we had just started our new company barely a week earlier and the whole group was excited and everything seemed full of promise. Then on that day I was walking past the conference room and everyone was gathered around the television watching the first tower burn when suddenly on live TV the second tower was hit. Then everyone realized that it wasn't a freak accident, this was an intentional act. No one could figure out who would do such a horrendous thing!
Needless to say, many lives were changed that day; maybe all of our lives were changed.
9/11 is also the birthday of a dear friend of mine. Marty was my business partner and friend. He was always a bit bothered by the fact that 9/11 represented not only his birthday but also one of the darkest days in America's history. Marty passed in 2011 but he is still in our hearts.
Today we acknowledge his birthday as one of the brighter moments occurring on 9/11. Happy Birthday Marty!
