<\/figure>\n\n\n\nAppreciate What You Have Everyday<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
What I still remember 20 years later is that all the passengers on the highjacked airliners and all the innocent victims in the Twin Towers and the Pentagon attempted to make the same phone call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They must have known that death was imminent as the three passenger jets were veering out of the sky, and as the workers on the high floors of the Twin Towers were inhaling the smoke and feeling the tremendous heat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Every person, regardless of race, religion and national origin, made the same telephone call to family and friends. They didn\u2019t call their stockbroker or banker. They all called their inner circle and told them over and over how much they loved them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Human nature is such, that when we have something, we don\u2019t truly appreciate it until we lose it. 9\/11 taught me to appreciate each day and treasure the loved ones in our life. On that day, almost 3,000 people were enjoying a beautiful morning. In moments, it was gone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The days that followed were some of the most patriotic days since D-Day. Flags were flying, and the families of the survivors were eternally grateful. The symbol of our flag was in our hearts to live on as a sign of our resiliency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
