    I was there for 9/11 like many others were growing up. Many born in 2001 and after would not understand the impact it has had on America.

    I was there for the Boston Red Sox finally snapping a multi-decade streak of losing or not making it to a World Series in 2004. This is significant if you’re a sports fan, especially baseball.

    I was there to see the rise of social media sites that many use today.

      This reminds of the hilarious time my dad asked my nephew if he was invited to the cockpit while flying transatlantic. To which he responded “grandpa, I was born 5 years after 9/11”. neither of them appreciated how hard I laughed at that.
