It was worth the trip to the Flight 93 Memorial in Pennsylvania. It's humbling to remember September 11, 2001. It was fascinating to learn more about the events of that day. Two of our Census Bureau colleagues were on that flight, and Marion Britton's bronze medal was on display. I remember seeing the smoke rise from the Pentagon and trying to decide where to go once we were released from work. I was debating between going home (closer the Pentagon and downtown) or stay in Maryland for a while. I went home and after watching the news for quite a while took a bike ride. No one else seemed to be out that day and it was so quiet. Often it is quiet as we remember those who have left us and feel their loss.
