12 years later...
By: Diane Sori
Today is NOT a day for politics...NOT a day for partisan
bickering...for today is a day when we together bow our heads and remember
those lost on 9/11...for this is the day when demons from hell walked the earth
in New York City, at the Pentagon, and in a field in Pennsylvania...
Today is the day when those on a doomed airliner decided
they would forfeit their lives so that others might live...a day when two small
words...'Let's Roll'... became ingrained in America's psyche...
Today is a day when we remember true heroes born and true heroes
lost...all in the blink of an eye...
Today is the day we hold Memorial Services and cry for the 3000 victims who awoke so full of life
on a beautiful sunny day NEVER to return home...NEVER again to kiss their husbands
or wives...NEVER again to hold their children...3000 victims NEVER to be forgotten
by those left behind...
Today we are still at war with those who pierced America's
heart...America's soul...who took away our innocence but who could NOT take
away our hopes... our dreams...our resolution and determination...for today new
buildings rise towards the heavens...a sign in simple concrete and steel signaling
that America survives...that America will NEVER surrender to evil.
America will survive
because America must survive...always and forever...NOT just for us here and
now but for future generations who will come to know that on a beautiful sunny
day so many years ago a spirit was awoken in everyday Americans...a spirit of
survival that can NEVER be taken away.
And so on this most solemn of days as we remember and honor
the 3000 victims of 9/11 let's NOT forget the four victims of another 9/11...Christopher Stevens, Sean Smith, Glen
Doherty, and Tyrone Woods...for their sacrifice must also be part of our
prayers.
3000 heroes plus four...God Bless them all as now they are
home safe in His arms...NEVER to be forgotten...always to be honored...always
to live in our hearts...forever and a day.

We need to remember the victims of Islamist terrorists this day, and to encourage our children to remember, also.
