The 9/11 attacks
The Twin Towers fell, killing thousands. we got the people behind it, but that doesn't change our loss. I hope to one day visit the memorial. another plane hit the pentagon, and one nearly hit the white house, but A passenger named Todd Beamer allegedly stopped it. a hero to be sure.

Period: to
The Covid-19 Pandemic
A lot changed as Covid swept over the country and the entire world. the president seemed to make no attempt to stop it or even ease it at the time. I have many opinions on this matter, but I will not express them here. I was there, and so were you. we're still recovering from our own hubris, and I'm just glad I made it through alright. Covid is still officially a pandemic, so I'll put down 2024 as the end date.
