9/11 Ten Years Later

I don't think anyone in the United States of America is not thinking about what happened a decade ago today.  A decade, I can't believe it's been that long, seems like only yesterday; when I was watching Matt Lauer on the Today Show, and he ended a interview with some breaking news.  Life changed that day not only for everyone in America, but for the world also.  Today, memorials will be dedicated to all those who lost their lives on that tragic day. More than 1100 individuals were never found, their families had nothing to bury. These memorials are the finale resting place of their loved ones, a place to be visited and for them to be remembered.  Those lives are what we need to remember, we as a world will never forget how they all perished. The families of those who died have taught us how they lived, and how they lived is so very important.  The families showed us how they were able to go on after such a tragedy.  It is hard enough to mourn a mother, father, child, husband, wife, sister, brother, uncle, aunt, cousin, or friend; but to do it with the entire world watching, gave the nation strength in knowing who they were, who they loved! That is why we Never Forgot!
On those memorials are craved the names of all those who died on that day in New York, Washington D.C. and in Pennsylvania.  Someday grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren and even great great great grandchildren will visit the sites, and time will pass like it does on every historic event.  Today though it is still fresh in our minds; and we give honor to those who died on this day.  May you never be forgotten!
