I thot it might be interesting to hear or read of people's first person accounts--of something that happened to you, or that you know someone that it happened to, and what it is that triggers or reminds you of that event now, everytime you see it or think of it, and what meaning it might have to you.
For me, everytime this particular day rolls around, today, July 30, I think of it. July 30 is the Trigger. Also, sometimes just the hot, humid summer heat of late July. And sometimes, the Lord's Prayer.
A friend of mine's dad, a survivor, was on board the ship when it happend. I didn't learn of it myself until just several years ago. This particular account is about six pages(ten minutes) long.
