A Moment to Remember 9/11

While for the most part today is going to be a happy and exciting day for me as I compete in my very first triathlon, there is a part of my heart that remains solemn as I reflect on the 10th anniversary of the tragic events of September 11, 2001 that forever changed the face of my community, my country and the world.

On this day, I will remember...

The people who died in the attack at the World Trade Center in New York City ...

The people who died in the attack at the Pentagon in Washington DC ...

The people who died on Flight 93 in Pennsylvania ...

The people who survived the attacks and will forever carry the physical and emotional scars of their horrific experience ...

The surviving loved ones of all the people who perished on this tragic day ...

The citizens of the United States and the citizens of the world who will never forget ...

Today The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at Ground Zero in New York City opens for the first time.

  1. It is a day I will never forget and posted about in my other blog. My fil was on one of the crews that helped build the Towers, my bro is a retired NYPD who at the time was on search and recovery, he saw the 2nd plane fly into the Tower. My hubs is retired NYPD as well and his partner's bro is in the pd aviation unit and videoed from a chopper. Sad day still hurts.

  2. orannia, there is a comfort in knowing people all over the world will remember this day, not just Americans and not just Americans whose lives were directly impacted by a loss of life or the memories of experiencing the horrors first hand by survivors. Thank you.

    Paula, my heart goes out to your family who were so personally affected by this sad, sad day.
