It's hard not to go through today without thinking about what you were doing seven years ago. I will never forget the black smoke billowing from the twin towers. I remember how we were all glued to the television for the latest on what was happening in Washington D.C. and New York. September 11th is one of those days that reminds broadcasters how important our jobs are.Today will will have coverage from different 9/11 events in Lafayette, Monticello and across the country.
Thank you to Glen Acres Elementary School for inviting me to be a part of the 'Read with a Hero' program. I read a book about being a TV reporter for Mrs. Agnew's class. The fifth graders were wonderful!The program included all different types of heroes, nurses, police officers, firefighters, a soldier, mayor and our own meteorologist Mike Prangley.
Pictured above is a picture the students made for me. The headline is 'Lafayette Schools close for the rest of the school year.' The script on the news desk reads 'David Younker, a former Glen Acres student became a millionaire after he drew this picture.' Good job everyone. I was very honored to be a part of your celebration.
Special thoughts go out to the US military heroes serving our country and defending freedom all over the world.
