Never Forget

Ten years ago today thousands, if not millions, of Americans watched on live TV as the Twin Towers smoldered right before their eyes. We watched as the horror unfolded at the sight of the first tower. Then came the second plane hurtling through the air and right into the second tower right in front of us. Today we remember all who gave their lives that day. Whether they had just been going to work that day, or whether they were the firefighters and policemen who sacrificed their lives in trying to rescue others. I hope we will always remember what happened that day. For even though it was a horrific nightmare, it brought us together as a nation. So much happened in that hour and a half. I can tell you exactly where I was that day. I remember watching as the towers collapsed, killing hundreds of people. And I was afraid. If they were in New York, maybe they would keep moving and attack our home as well. I remember praying, "Oh Lord, please be with our President. Please be with the families who lost loved ones today. Please comfort them."  It's a day I will never forget. May we remember those in the first two planes, as well as Flight 77, and the brave passengers on Flight 93, who gave up their lives to keep the terrorists from striking their next target. May we never forget their courage.
