Yesterday was the 9th anniversary of the horrific, brutal day that killed the lives of 2,977 men and women. Innocent lives that were lost 9 years ago!!! For what??? For the glory of the 19 terrorists and their co-horts that hijacked 4 Boeing 757's and attacked American civilians!!!
9/11 is an unforgettable day for many, many people. I remembered that I was at work when I heard it. I remembered that all of us at work were so grief stricken and had utter disbelief of the catastrophe that had engulfed the United States!!! There were 4 hijacked airlines, Flight 93 the last of the 4 hijacked airlines which plummeted to the ground near Shanksville, Pennsylvania on its way to the White House or the Capitol. Thank goodness for the bravery and courage of some men who fought the hijackers!!! They were heroes that averted another catastrophic incident!!!
Why did the terrorists chose New York and Washington as targets??? For obvious reasons!!!! What??? They are the 2 most symbolic cities in the United States, New York being the center of finances, and Washington, the center of government!!! Because of that devastating incident, the twin towers was gone forever and so with the thousands of lives of innocent people!!!! That is soooo sad. America will never be the same again!!!!
Can we heal and move on after this tragedy??? Of course, we will, but it will take time. Time heals pain, but we have a long way to go for our anger, grief and suspicion to die down!!! We are a tolerant nation, but this is one of those times that the American people will not forget for quite sometime!!!!
Because of 9/11, our lives have changed forever!!! Gone are those carefree, democratic way of life that we know. Sure, we are still free to move around, but every move we take is somewhat recorded in a camera or whatever. When we go to board a plane, it takes forever to be screened through the security. The security gets more complicated and more modern and our whole body goes through the security! Nothing is sacred anymore!!! If the security is not satisfied with the electronic view of our body, then they resort to a pat and search!!!! Ay...ya...yay!!!! But this is better for the people because it puts our mind at ease that we can travel safely around the world!!!!
What happens in Ground Zero??? First of all, it is a sacred ground, a resting place for some on that dark, gloomy and horrific day. A place where the grim reality became known that Americans are hated soooo much for their love of freedom and their tolerant attitude. A grim reality that there are indeed people out there that will push to such lengths as to destroy property and lives of innocent people!!!! And what sort of human beings would resort to such violence???? People that do not have gods or pretend to worship something that is inhuman and laughs at the misery of not only America but the whole world!!!! What happens to Ground Zero is a good question!!!! We all hope and pray that no one in their right minds will erect something that will be sooooo despicable to the nation that was put in shambles on that gloomy Tuseday morning!!!! We also have to pray for those people that changed the course of everybody's lives. May they repent and realize what damage their cruel intentions have done not only to America but the whole world, not only physically, but also mentally!!!
May God protect us all from all the evil that is upon this great nation of ours. Let us all pray for peace in the whole world!!!!
