9/11 A Day I Will Never Forget
Eight years ago today priceless American lives were taken by Islamic terrorists. Eight years ago today we learned that two planes had crashed into the World Trade Center, one crashed into the Pentagon, and one plane with brave souls crashed in Pennsylvania instead of into the Capital or White House. Eight years ago today my sense of safety as a young adult was shattered. Eight years ago today I came home from school to learn that my country had received attacks worse than those in Pearl Harbor. Eight years ago today I questioned God for the first time in my life. Eight years ago today I found out that people hated me and all Americans just because we were Americans. Eight years ago today my sense of reality was shaken, no longer could I view the world with the eyes of a child. Eight years ago today we had a President that was strong enough to deal with the situation. Eight years ago today was September 11, 2001, a day which some rather forget but will always be engrained in my soul and in my being.

ReplyDeleteThanks for the great post. May we never forget what our soldiers do today to keep us safe. I hope such evil attacks never happen again but we must always be ready.
Wow, that reaches to the real soul of America and clearly defines the challenge we face as a nation. Thank you for that eloquent and touching post.
