The Day The World Changed....September 11, 2001
That day will forever be sketched
into our minds. The day America..."Land of the Free & Home of the Brave"...was brutally attacked. Not by another country in some vain war
effort like Pearl Harbor, but by an individual group of terrorists. A
group with no regard for human life. A group that did it in the name of
their God. A group that believed this attack on America would bring us down. We
are stronger than that...they should have known this.
We all stood terrified that
dreadful morning as the tragedies unfolded before our eyes. Many Americans seen
it live on TV and sent us trembling to our knees with the knowledge there was
nothing we could do. We watched helplessly, calling our loved ones to alert them
to the news, wanting our children near to us, our families in our hearts as we
slowly understood the massive loss of lives that was occurring right before our
eyes.
As the day wore on, we slowly
seen something remarkable happen. For the first time in history, other countries
stood with us, praying with us, crying with us as this was also their pain. Many
countries had citizens in the World Trade Center. These terrorists did not just
attack the United States...they knowingly attacked the entire world. That was
their biggest mistake. Instead of tearing us all apart, many nations stood
together. Made us stronger and more determined than ever before to end
terrorism. Watching the people of England, France, Germany & Canada
among others, singing our national anthem was overwhelming.
And For That We Thank You.
"Give me your tired, your poor,
your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me;
I lift my lamp beside the golden door."
