A Day of Rememberance.... 9/11

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Realty

I remember the day like yesterday....hell all of us remember that day. It was like a left hook coming out of no where.  At first I thought was a joke...someone just pulling somebody's leg.  Once the news broke and journalist reported that we have been attacked by terrorist....it became reality.

I really didn't know what to think but after i saw people jumping from buildings and the towers collapsing...I felt like i was in a movie. This really can't be happening..not us..not USA..the greatest country in the world.....those were my thoughts at the time. That day I thought it would continue; didn't know whether or not if the bombing would go on or what city would next. Like other Americans I was scared and afraid that something else would happen.

Though like the Americans we are...we stood up to the challenge....we lost soooo many people; I have no clue of how they felt...but I empathize with them. We overcame, we let go of our stupid pride and ethnic background and came together.  And here we are today with troops overseas protecting us from an event like we had to not happen again.  No we won't forget...like Pearl Harbour...we won't forget....like the Oklahoma bombing...we won't forget and the bombing at the 96 Olympics....we won't forget....we remember those we lost...we move on and become stronger....So on today ..it's not about real estate or appraisals or lenders or title companies.. forget about yourself and remember the lives that were lost and thank the soldiers keeping us safe to live our lives.

Well said, Jimmy!  You did a great job summing up the feelings of a lot of people.  And thank you to all of our troops who are out there preventing another such tragedy from happening again.

Great post.. I remember that day like it was yesterday as well... Friends of mine have gone to over 40 funerals and who knows how many memorial services for those never found... A fellow agents son had forgotten something in his car that morning & was spared, the other office members he worked with were not as fortunate... you never know when it is your time...

I thank God everyday for my family, their safety & the safety of our GREAT Country the USA...

Thanks again, amy
