Remembering 9/11

Though the tragic events of September 11, 2001, are well behind us, the people of the City of New York, the United States, and indeed the world, are still mourning the effects of the shock remaining as if the horrors occurred just yesterday, and for the victim's families, the pain will last a lifetime.

The rubble has been cleared away, and the ashes washed clean by the rain, but the memories will never fade away from our hearts and minds. The world lost much more than buildings on September 11, and even more than lives, but one positive effect that has risen from the tragedy is that we as Americans now treat our firefighters and police officers with a new found respect. Please take a moment on Sunday to stop and remember all that was lost, and all that were affected on that day.
