In Remembrance - September 11th
We pause today to remember – September 11, 2001…
Eight years ago today, our nation, The United States of America, was attacked by a terrorist group when they flew airplanes into the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington DC, and into a field in western Pennsylvania.
Thousands of American lives were lost in this tragic event, both from those who were aboard the aircraft and those who were in the buildings that were struck. We pause as a nation to remember those who were affected by this tragedy. Memorial services and events were held at the various sites and a national moment of silence was observed at 8:46 AM, the time of the first strike.
“Tonight, we are a country awakened to danger and called to defend freedom. Our grief has turned to anger and anger to resolution. Whether we bring our enemies to justice or bring justice to our enemies, justice will be done…” President, George W. Bush.
Great post! It is a day we should all take a moment of silence and remember the people we lost, and the heroes who fought back!
