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.
If you know, you know. It just means more symbolically right now. This is from the holiday favorite “Independence Day” where aliens blow lots of stuff up, including much of Washington DC.
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.
This is what the New York Times looked like the day after 9/11. This historic event must never be forgotten. It was one of history’s worst events and one of humanity’s shining moments in how people came together for a time in the aftermath. This event seems so long ago. Always remember this day. It’s important to do so. Let there be peace on Earth.
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.
