It is hard to believe that today is the 11th anniversary of the terrorist attacks of 9/11. I thought I would do something different with the blog today due to the 11 year anniversary of the day the terrorists attacked our country and many brave men and women lost their lives. I was a sophomore at Southern Miss on 9/11/2001, and had just finished a morning workout at the Payne Center when the news broke. It seemed surreal at the time, and it still does. I was working as a student athletic trainer with the football team, and it was very difficult for anyone to focus on football for a few days, and all the games for that weekend were canceled. Looking back, it was definitely the right thing to do, although later on I do believe sports played an important part in helping our country heal. Amy and I had a chance to visit ground zero in New York a couple of years ago, and even though the rebuilding process is underway, you could still sense that something terrible had happened there. Let's just remember everyone that lost their lives that day or later due to the attacks, and all the brave men and women that are fighting for our freedom.
