I can count on one hand the times in my life that I’ve felt — quite literally — weak in the knees. One was September 11, 2001 as I watched the towers fall and heard the news that the FAA had grounded all airplanes. As we remember that horrific day, here are several stories and events to consider.

First, read today’s Carolina Journal column by JLF’s Karen Palasek and be sure to look at the photo at the bottom of her piece.

Second, read this Carolina Country story about Bettye Glenn of Fayetteville, who was on the 43rd floor of the North Tower. (see page 19 of the pdf file)

And third, fly the flag or consider adopting a flag as part of the UNC College Republicans’ program to commemorate the day.
