A tragedy like no other, the attack of 9/11 is one of the most grueling incidents in American history. Four flights were hijacked out of which two destroyed the New York’s Twin Towers, one crashed into Virginia’s Pentagon building, and the last one crashed in rural Pennsylvania.
The remembrance of the calamity is still fresh in many people’s minds. PGA Tour pro Michael S. Kim has also expressed his sentiments towards the incident by sharing an emotional story. In his latest tweet, Kim told the story of how his best moment from the Walker Cup was when ex-President George Bush had lunch with them and narrated his own memory of the day of 9/11.
He tweeted, “One of the coolest moments during my Walker Cup was when President Bush came out a couple of days before the matches and had lunch with us. We had visited the 9/11 Memorial the day before and we asked if he could share what his day was like. Mr. President told us the story of his day on 9/11 (the PG-13 version I’m sure) and it was so surreal listening to his recollection and what was going through his mind during that day.”
