Births, graduations, anniversaries, deaths. Historic events, such as the birth of this country or the recent flooding experienced by thousands of Louisianans. All are memorialized as days on calendars. Each remembered, celebrated, or lamented, by those whose lives were impacted in various forms on those days...whether as individuals, a community, or a nation. One such date that changed forever the lives of families, individually, and of this country, collectively, is September 11, 2001. Many will remember it as a day when hateful acts led to buildings falling. But for most, it is a day when selfless sacrifice and true heroism arose.
