Remembering the 10th Anniversary of 9-11-2001
By Eileen Sobjack
September 11, 2001 America was attacked by terrorists. Three thousand people died. Out of the rubble a new spirit was born in many Americans. The stories of heroism of fireman, policeman and regular everyday people are a testimony of the American spirit. As a result of the tragedy on 9-11 many young men and women signed up to serve their country in the Armed Forces. As we reflect on the 10th anniversary of that day our prayers are with the families who lost their loved ones. We remember and honor those who died.
A few months after 9-11, President George W. Bush said “Now, we have inscribed a new memory alongside those others. It’s a memory of tragedy and shock, of loss and mourning. But not only of loss and mourning. It’s also a memory of bravery and self-sacrifice, and the love that lays down its life for a friend–even a friend whose name it never knew. “
“Terrorism against our nation will not stand.” George W. Bush –
