Today we remember the events of the day of September 11, 2001. Terror was brought to New York City, Washington DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania. It was a day that will live in the memory of people around the world forever. It was a day when people were lost, but a day when people were heroes too. Let’s be mindful of what happened and hope it will never happen again.
Remembering the events of September 11, 2001, in New York City, New York – Washington, DC – Shanksville PA. May we always remember the lost lives, care for the survivors, and be thankful for those who helped us get through those days. Let us all resolve to work for peace and cooperation in these days we live in now.
Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children.
Former U.S. President George W. Bush
The September 11th tragedy forced us all to look at the world in a different way, and it reminds us all of the importance of living every moment.
Joanne Woodward
Twenty years ago. Wow it’s hard to believe that 9/11 happened twenty years ago. American and world history changed on that day. This was a time that people cannot and shouldn’t forget. Make no mistake it was about terrorism but like anything there is always more to the story.
Heroes rose from all walks of life to rescue and save lives. They also came to find survivors and recover those who were lost in the chaos and destruction. It was about America coming together in community to lift-up one another during the dark days that would follow. A lot of people were there to pick up the pieces and sort through the devastation.
It is my hope that nothing like this will happen again anywhere on Earth. Let there be peace. Let love rule.
Remember New York, Arlington, VA and Shanksville, Pennsylvania on 9/11 and other days too.
Life goes on but our memory of this day is etched in history. Let there be peace on Earth and may it begin with us all. God comfort those who survived and may your love be with those who left us that day in New York, Washington DC, and Shanksville. Pennsylvania.
