An attack on America and the World. It is hard to believe that ten years have gone by. I sat here in my home Sunday September 11, 2011 and watched all of the coverage. I sat and listened to every single name being read. I figured that is the least I could do to show my respect. I sat and cried for 5 hours.
It seems like the events of 9/11 just happened when you see the images and the amount of pain that people are still in. Seeing all of the images and hearing the stories so painful. Nearly 3000 lives lost in a senseless act of violence. It is still hard to wrap my mind around that the World Trade Center is no longer a symbol of strength and freedom standing tall in the NYC skyline.
Ground Zero is the final resting place for so many lives lost. Nearly 1000 families still have no closure seeing their loved ones remains have never been recovered. Death toll rising everyday as we are ten years into fighting a war in retaliation for the events or 9/11. We are losing young innocent children everyday in foreign lands. Also the number of first responders that have fallen ill and died. So tragic.
Watching the ceremony as sad as it was. The Memorial is a sign of HOPE.
They have planted the Survivor Tree which survived the attack as well as a storm last year. Seeing life return to the area is a beautiful testament to the strength of human beings and especially New Yorkers.
God Bless America.
Ask yourselves how you can make someones day better. Help those in need. It is our responsibility.
PEACE PEACE PEACE PEACE
