Honoring the Heroes of 9/11






On the last day of preparing for the toy fair, I took the girls to the office. On the way to work we passed the Pepperdine University. Today is September 11th, it's the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorists attacks on the United States, there is a 10th anniversary rememberance event honoring the heroes of 9/11 at the campus lawn. There are a lot of news media trucks and law enforcement vehicles parked there, we were lucky to find a parking spot and went there to see the preparation of the event which I believe will happen in the afternoon sometime.

Can't believe it's been 10 years, it was just like yesterday! Helen and I were vacationing in New England after her graduation from Cal State, we took the 2nd flight in the morning on United Airline from Boston Logan Airport back to LAX after the vacation, it was a week before the 9/11 attacks! One of the plane that the terrorists hijacked and crashed into one of the WTC towers was United Fight 175, first flight in the day en route from Boston to Los Angeles, it was unbelievable.
