Remembering Sept. 11th

In Events, Everyday Life, My Opinion, R.I.P. on September 11, 2009 at 1:38 pm

We all remember September 11, 2001 as if it were yesterday.  Where we were, what we were doing, how we found out.  It is a memory, no matter how horrifying it was, it is one that will haunt us forever. That was a day Americans finally realized that we are not untouchable and there are evil people in this world whose sole purpose is to destroy us.

As we all watched the Towers collapse, the Pentagon wall crumble and a big crater in the ground where a plane crashed our hearts broke. They broke for all those innocent people who were killed that day, that’s right they didn’t just die they were killed, viciously and intentionally. They still break every time a birthday or anniversary passes and every year we realize this day was not a nightmare.

So today we remember all those that lost their lives that day eight years ago. We remember the people who simply went to work that morning, the ones who sat on a plane and all those who gave their lives trying to help others. We will never forget.

I want to remember my friend Deanna, who was pregnant with her first child Matthew. I will never forget.

To the disgusting, evil men who took her life and the lives of almost 3,000 people that day, may you rot in hell. America will never forget.

God Bless The USA!!!!
