9/11 Remembrance

From last year.....updated somewhat.

Seventeen years since the cowardly attack on New York's World Trade Center, the Pentagon building and Flight 93.

After that heinous act, this country stood united as rarely seen before.  Now, sadly, this country has become, seemingly more every day, more fractious.  Fake news, echo chambers, bitter politics laced with lies and hate, its no wonder some of us reject the news in order to reduce stress in our lives.

I ask you though,


Never Forget

Never Forgive

Hello there! This post couldn't be written any better! Looking at this article reminds me of my previous roommate!
He continually kept talking about this. I most certainly will send this article to
him. Fairly certain he's going to have a very good read.
Thank you for sharing!

A painful topic Dom.

I remember precisely where I was, what I was doing, and the person who broke the news to me.

I remember the following weekend, working on my daughter's bedroom, sanding a wall and the sanding dust drifting down in a shaft of sunlight stopped me, bringing tears to my eyes, and all I could see was the crumbling towers.

I have been to ground zero twice since, and the same feeling overpowers me each time.

Thanks for the kind words Anonymous

David Masse, so do I, I was driving to work and remember hearing on the radio a plane had flown into one of the towers....

Thanks for the reminder Dom. I was on my honeymoon and turned on the TV to check the weather for the day. I left for the USAF a month and a half later. We remember.
