Remembering 9/11, I cry. Grant, as I read this to my husband he stopped me and said, "This man can write!" And I began to sob as I read until I couldn't read out loud.
I know about Welles, but never experienced it as if I were him being observed by the narrator. Thank you!
We were in shock on 9/11 and became stranded in our motorhome in Evansville, Indiana. The gas prices spiked to over $6 a gallon (from just around a buck a gallon) so we sheltered in place.
Thank you for sharing and for your compliments! We were all in different places when it happened, and I think we will never forget how we felt about the news. And yet it’s important to remember because we often forget 9/11 in our day to day.
Cool, glad to know that. I played lacrosse in high school and loved it, but was never any good. What's your experience with lacrosse? Your bio says fanatic haha
Wow, great reminder of how valuable each day is and how sacrificial some people are. Would I be one of those???? Thanks for the story to get us thinking…

Every year I am re-amazed by this story.
Thanks! I have never heard it before this year. When did you first learn of it? And do you know any others that are as compelling?
Welles was a college lacrosse player, so this story gets shared every year on insidelacrosse.com. Not aware of any like it!

Nice! What position?
I played in college and am most certainly a fanatic. Working on a lacrosse product at the moment, actually.
You play any college sports?
Nice, I was Middie because I could run a lot. How about you?
No I was never athletic growing up- finally found my sport in Jiu Jitsu when I was 26 though haha
Also a middie! Mostly offensive. I would really like to get into BJJ...
…what an incredible hero…

Thank you. I think we can still be sacrificial without giving our lives.
