Never forget - 9/11 eight years later

In memory of those who lost their lives

It seems as though people are starting to forget the horrible events of September 11, 2001. Perhaps the global economic issues have become more important. Or, maybe the US is more focused on other issues, such as health care reform. Or, maybe Americans have started to think that it can't happen again here. I don't know. But, I will never forget what happened that day.

 I will always remember exactly where I was when I first heard that a plane had hit the World Trade Center in New York. I will never forget watching the second plane hit the other tower.  Neither will I forget the events at the US Pentagon or in a field in Pennsylvania. For a brief moment, the world was united in sorrow for those who lost their lives, and in thanks for those who helped to save lives.

I continue to pray for the families of those who lost their lives that day, and I continue to give thanks for those who sacrifice daily to protect us from another such event.
