Today is September 11th. I will always remember where I was September 11, 2001. I thought I would never forget how I felt that day when I found out we had been attacked by terrorists, but when I was looking for this slide show I've linked to below, I found that I had forgotten the depth of the horror and sadness that day brought into the heart of every American.
This is a terrific 9/11 tribute. It is long, but it has some poignant pictures that bring it all back. I hope you'll take the time to watch it and remember those that lost their lives in this tragedy.
Despite what you may believe politically, this was an atrocity. These people got up and went to work just like they did every day of their working lives. Think of today. You got up, did your morning routine, came to work and started doing what you are paid to do. You aren't thinking about religion or politics or dying for a cause, you are just going about your life as usual, just like the thousands of people that lost their lives that day.
Here is another tribute that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. This one even lists the lyrics.
I hope you will take a moment today to thank God for all the blessings in your life.

I think that's a day that most people remember where they were and what they were doing when they heard the news. I remember not believing it at first.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful tribute with us. I know we, in the western part of this great county, are rather remote from New York and so didn't really get how devastating the events of 9/11 were. Having been in the first building myself long ago, I can tell you that it was a big deal to go up in the building and got out on the top and look out over the scenery. Last year Dad and I saw the area where the building used to be and it was very strange not seeing the towers. We are blessed to have the kind of freedom we have, aren't we?
