9/11 A Day of Remembrance

Heart9/11 is a day to remember those who perished in the attacks on our country on 9/11/2001  and offer condolences to those who lost loved ones.

Thanks to those who put their lives on the line to save others and continued to worked tirelessly in the aftermath.  It took an horrendous event to united people of the US.

We seem to have forgotten. Fourteen years later we live in a seriously divided America. People judge on every belief or disbelief and bias.  New ways to discriminate, discredit and divide are perpetuated every day while the media rallies at the lengthening crack in the Liberty Bell.

The pendulum needs to swing back toward common sense and realization that nothing in this world is perfect and we must take accountability for our own actions.

Freedom does not mean one person’s beliefs and convictions matter more than another.  Show respect to others the way you wish to be respected.  All lives matter.

Honor those who gave their lives to create and maintain this country as a  free nation. Remember those who died on this day on September 11, 2001 and pray to whatever you believe in to help heal the United States of America and bring her back to great.

 

 

Thirteen Years – Never Forget 9/11

eagle with flagOn 9.11.01, the cloudless September sky of thirteen years ago is forever etched into my memory. I drove home not fully comprehending what I’d seen on the TV while at work. Our family was fortunate not to have lost anyone on 9/11/01, but we grieved for those who did. We grieved for our country. My son, who was only six at the time, vividly remembers that day and those that followed. We didn’t attempt to hide what happened from him. He is always the first in the family to remind us the anniversary is upon us. He will never forget and neither should any American.

History repeats itself and we must always maintain vigilance against enemies foreign and domestic. Today I’d like to thank our military, intelligence agencies and public safety communities for maintaining watch.  GOD BLESS AMERICA!!
