A day Amercia was vilolated and we lost our innocence!
A day that will always be engrained in our memory.
A day to sit back and be thankful for our country.
To be thankful for our Freedom.
And remember those that lost their lives for their heroism!
Remember those broken families that survived and live in the land of the Brave. For their sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, brothers and sisters gave all.
I was at home on the computer and read where we were attacked. Not knowing the full impact, I went out and told Bud to turn on the TV "The Towers have been attacked". What enfolded that day was terror, sadness, and loss!
GOD BLESS THE USA!!
Sept 11th 2001 is a day that is embedded in my brain, I will never forget that day.
ReplyDeleteI am thankful for our country always, God Bless the USA.
Lee Greenwood's song will be going thru my head today!
DeleteI can't believe it's been 20 years and I will never forget that horrible tragic day.
ReplyDeleteIt's like, sometimes, it was yesterday.
DeleteIt doesn't seem like that was 20 years ago already. I can still remember when I found out. For some reason I had gone home for lunch that day, turned on the tv and the news was showing what happened.
ReplyDeleteIt's been etched in our brain!
DeleteIt will never be forgotten and I can't believe it's been 20 years already
ReplyDeleteAt times, me either.
DeleteI had just moved back to Philadelphia from Florida the summer before 9/11. Like you, I remember exactly where I was when I heard what had happened. What was so strange about that day was how gorgeous it was weather-wise in the Northeast. It was bright, sunny, and the sky didn't have a cloud in it. So it was incredibly hard to conceive the horror and darkness that was going on only an hour and a half away.
ReplyDeleteI watched a recent 9/11 documentary last night and cried my eyes out.
No matter how many years go by, 9/11 rocks me to the core. Whenever I go back to NYC and visit the 9/11 Memorial, it's so bittersweet because while beautiful, it's also a harsh reminder of all the lives lost that day.
Beautiful tribute, Anni! Love your words!
Thank you for sharing this today. X
It continues to hurt us all. If not, then the person is cold!
DeleteSo very, very sad. All these years later the wound is still fresh. :-(
ReplyDeleteNever forget.
DeleteSuch a sad anniversary. Never forget.
ReplyDeleteAmen
DeleteTwenty years seems so wrong. It feels so recent in our memories. The images and feelings of horror are still fresh. We all grieve today.
ReplyDeleteSpoken truth!
DeleteI think our innocence was violated a long time ago but this tragedy reinforced how vulnerable we were and still are. It's a wound that will never heal.
ReplyDeleteThe people of America went to work, not knowing it was their last day on earth. We were filled with innocence and paid dearly!
DeleteDH was still working then. He called me and said to turn on the TV. We were so 'shocked' that this could happen to us. I went outside and looked at the sky... it was blue and clear... and not a plane in sight. I remember how strange I felt... like the world had shifted. (and may still be shifting...)
ReplyDeleteAll those lives... so unexpected and unbelievable. Yes, we will always remember... and will always keep those who lost their lives (and their families) in our minds and hearts.
A well said tribute!!
DeleteThe same for us. That day just got worse and worse.
ReplyDeleteIt really did!
DeleteWe were having a leisurely breakfast when a neighbour came pounding on our door and told us to turn on the TV because horrible things were happening. It still fills my heart with horror.
ReplyDeleteHere too. Tears still flow. After all these years.
DeleteI was picking Jonathan apples when someone came out and told me....when I went in to lunch the TV was on. It is one of those things that we will never forget.
ReplyDeleteWe do!! We do remember that day like it was yesterday.
DeleteIt sure change a lot of our lives.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
Indeed
DeleteThe day that everyone will remember where they were at the time that it happened. It was touching how many people are now just under 20 years of age whose mothers were pregnant with them and they lost a father or loved one they never met.
ReplyDeleteYes, I noticed that yesterday watching the tribute. Sad. But, it's good to see you here Steven. How is your new job?
DeleteIt was a sad day. I met my uncle in a restaurant and he told me what had happened. He was elderly and I didn’t really believe him, till I got home and saw it on TV.
ReplyDeleteThat is understandable.
DeleteI was with my Dad , on a doctor's visit and watch it on Tv
ReplyDeleteit was very sad day!
Truly sad.
