September 11.... Please remember the fallen today. God bless you all, and God bless America.

 

many have forgotten, they said it would happen but I didn't think it would be this soon. I remember how the country came together, united against hate and terrorism, united both parties, united to rebuild NYC, united all the races and religions. I look at our landscape today with utter disgust, for how some Americans are behaving during this election.

 

This is a day to remember the heros and those that died.

Politics and criticisim have no place in this thread.

I live on a corner lot and as I have done in the past, I will be placing 2 candles on my corner this evening.

 

^ Nice gesture...As I look out over the trees at the Pentagon in the distance, I will be remembering and reflecting on the events of that day and after.

 

Read this. It is an article titled "Growing up grieving" about the children whose parents died on 9/11. From today's New York Times.

It is our job (those old enough to know what happened and to do something about it) to make sure that that day is not forgotten.

 

Long live America!

(went to see the Army "Stars and Stripes" show this evening; a nice way to channel the 9/11 emotions)
