LET'S ROLL!

22 years ago it was a peaceful morning. We had the plumbers over to replace our heating system. I had coffee brewing and THEN everything changed. AN aircraft had flown into one of the World Trade Center towers. "How could that happen?" At first, people thought it must have been a small personal aircraft THEN,  the second tower got struck and both aircraft were identified as airline passenger planes. We all stood in disbelief and were fixated on the TV screen.

Our 2nd son called from college and said "What's going on?" I replied, "We're under attack!" 

"What should I do?" "Pray, son, pray". 

Then we were told the Pentagon was hit and another hijacked passenger plane had crashed in Pennslyvania. We learned later that a brave band of people in that aircraft devised an offense to take back control..."Let's Roll" 

On this day our enemies took a bite out of the Big Apple. It was a wake-up call. Our people joined in unity. We were one. We were "We the People" 

Pam & I went to our local 9/11 service. In attendance was an American Airlines pilot who had been slotted to fly that day but he was ill and couldn't fly. It was his crew that got hijacked Flight 11 from Boston crashed into the north tower.

Many of us have strong memories of that day.

Many of those involves in the rescue efforts have suffered illnesses and too many have died too young.

We were and we still are under attack today Doug Dawes . Regretfully enemies of the American way keep getting smarter and attack our great country from with-in through political correctness and energy policies leaving us weaker then we ever have been in our history. I am thankful that many of the younger generation are not fooled and are not buying into all the garbage. I am so proud of my 23 year old daughter and her many friends in the USAF guard that see through the political (communist) bull chip.

I am in 100% agreement with you Bob "RealMan" Timm 

Our country has been under attack since the Constitution was first put in place. Now the enemies, both foreign and domestic, have ramped up their efforts to divide us

People forget unity when times seem non-threatening Kathy Streib It would seem that human beings need an element of suffering to bind themselves to one another. We see that through out history

Good morning, Doug. I, for one, will never forget. Those of us who lived through that day must also commit to teaching our kids and grandkids about that day and what it meant.

Good Morning Nina Hollander, Broker 

That's what we were discussing at our town's 9/11 remembrance, e.g. teaching the kids. We noticed there was not 1 kid there. So, we spoke of involving the scouting organizations and the schools.
