We Will NEVER Forget!!

REMEMBERING September 11th.

"Today, we've had a national tragedy. Two airplanes have crashed into the World Trade Center in an apparent terrorist attack on our country.

"I have spoken to the Vice President, to the Governor of New York, to the Director of the FBI, and have ordered that the full resources of the federal government go to help the victims and their families, and to conduct a full-scale investigation to hunt down and find those folks who committed this act.

"Terrorism against our nation will not stand.

"And now if you [would] join me in a moment of silence.

"May God bless the victims, their families, and America.

"Thank you very much."
It's hard to believe that it's been almost five years since George Bush addressed the country from the Emma Booker Elementary School in Sarasota, Florida, on September 11. The attacks changed the way our world looked on the outside and the way we all felt inside.

Our hearts broke for those who lost their lives and for their families. Even before the dust settled, we pulled together to send support. And everywhere you turned – on cars, buildings, boats, and homes – you would see it, the American flag, the symbol of freedom.

Time passes by. The rubble has all been cleared. The flag still flies high. Widows remarry. Life goes on, and yet…

"I've left things otherwise the way they were after September 11," a Pentagon worker said of her office. "A lamp shade is tilted sideways, pictures are still crooked. I keep them that way as a reminder; some things we shouldn't forget."
And we should not forget.
