January 6th wonāt be forgotten nor will it be swept under the rug. It was defining event for our country.
For me personally, it was right up with the OKC bombing, Space Shuttle Challenger and 911 in terms of events Iāll never forget. I was too young to remember the Kennedy assassination.
January 6 began when I was at work, walking out to our vans to start them so the batteries wouldnāt run down, and my friend messaged me and said they are attacking the Capitol. I couldnāt believe it, like those other events, it didnāt seem possible, and it unfolded in image after image on my phone.
This thread is for those images. For me, these are the ones that stuck.
