9-11-01 We will never forget!

I feel many emotions on this day- I find myself glued to the TV watching any documentaries or specials that are on, I always watch the movie The World Trade Center, and I cry every time I see those towers come down. I teach my children about what happened that day, why it happened and who did it, I want them to know.

I am overcome with grief and sadness but I am also confused and annoyed. Not with who you might think. The terrorists that did this are evil, there is no doubt and we live in a world filled with evil but I am always amazed at the short attention span of this country. After 9-11 we were filled with patriotism- united as a country- and we recognized heroes. President Bush did an amazing job of uniting us and bringing us all together. Despite the tragedy it was a great time of unity for this nation.

What has happened since? It seems that not much of thoses feeling remain. Anger, false accusations, bickering, turning on each other and worst of all we have forgotten what happened that day. What do we need terrorists for when we have plenty of enemies right here in America?

I hope you will all take the time to reflect on this day. To reflect on all those people whose lives were lost, all those heroes that died, all the families that still suffer to this day. Acknowledge all those heroes recogognized or in the shadows. Remember that we live in the greatest country in the world, that we have the right to fight for our freedoms, remember those that still fight daily to protect and serve us.

Never forget 9-11, never forget where you were that day or how you felt. Never forget what that day meant and still means today. That's how we win, we go on, we persevere, we keep fighting, and most importantly, we never forget!
