Some of you here may have seen this last year, but for those who missed it, this is my 9/11 story. More specifically, it's the story I wrote in 2015, looking back on how the ripples of 9/11 reached me in New Hampshire a short while after the event.

My account will likely seem hard to believe, but I promise it is a true story. It seems unreal now even to me, and I lived it. It surely must be hard for others to believe. I've tried to tell it in an entertaining fashion, but that may contribute further to a sense of unreality. Don't let it.

Really it's just a cautionary tale with a serious message that is a part of the 9/11 experience we need to not forget.

The number of people who died of toxin exposure after volunteering, working or living near Ground Zero has surpassed the number of people killed in the actual attacks. #911 #WTC #911day https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/news/september-11th-world-trade-center-health-program/?emci=e2af0a59-ba6f-ef11-991a-6045bdd9e096&emdi=228e9341-d36f-ef11-991a-6045bdd9e096&ceid=16395312

#Michiganders are invited to volunteer for the 9/11 National Day of Service! The Michigan Community Service Commission is funding 14 projects across the state that address hunger, homelessness, and support for veterans. This is a powerful way to honor the spirit of unity and kindness that followed the 9/11 tragedy. #911Day #Volunteer #Americorps #ClimateCorps #Service https://www.michigan.gov/leo/boards-comms-councils/mcsc/nfr/sept-11-volunteer-project-funding

Among 9/11 memories, I refer you to my 2015 essay Packaged Terror, about how ripples of the attack touched me personally, several states away in New Hampshire.

I'm pretty confident that if you have the time, you'll find it an engaging read.

Had I not lived it, I might doubt some of its details myself, but I quite assure you this is a completely true story. And the take-home message is still very relevant today.
