My generation's Where were you when_? moment was 9-11. Relaxing at home on Sunday, we watched hours of footage and interviews. Some of the details I had forgotten or maybe didn't note back then. Obviously, I have more realization of the event now than I did as a 20 year old in College Station.

Incidentally, ten years earlier, I was driving to government class and heard some of the accounts over my car radio. Ryan, who I had not yet met, on his way to Beutal (for those not familiar, Beutal is the not-great campus medical facility). In the next couple of days the organization that Ryan belonged to, One Army, created and distributed thousands of red, white and blue t-shirts for all of the students and ticket-holders to wear to the A&M game.
