We all remember where we were that morning.
Yet the most important memory we as Americans need to preserve is how we felt on Sept. 11, 2001.
I remember thinking that what was on TV couldn’t be happening only 20 miles away; the helplessness was paralyzing.
America was tested in the most unimaginable fashion and responded with its bravest and finest men and women, and those who perished in the attack will live on through the undying spirit of freedom that this country has been known for since its inception.
We will never forget their sacrifices, their spirits and their strength during a time when the cowardice of few tried to defy the courage of many.
God bless America, and let everyday – not just Tuesday – remind us of the cost necessary to preserve our way of life in this great country, the land of the free and home of the brave.
– C.T.
