9 years ago I watched, live, as events unfolded in NYC, from the second plane strike to the complete destruction of the Twin Towers. My emotions are still raw, and easily come to the surface when I consider the ramifications of that fateful day.
Seeing the terror on the faces of those running for their lives as the towers came down, watching helplessly as people jumped from windows to escape the inescapable. I remember being very thankful that my employer sent me home that day, not knowing whether the public schools would be sending our children home early, closing or for how long. Feeling a fresh stab of fear every time I saw or heard a fighter jet overhead. Even now, when the jets fly over my school on their weekly practice runs, I feel uneasy and wonder, "Is this just another practice run, or...?"
Will we ever heal? Or will we conveniently forget so that we can stop feeling uncomfortable as the names are read in memorium each year?
We must NEVER FORGET! ALWAYS REMEMBER that WE are the citizens of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA! We must not live in fear, but boldly show the world that Americans will not be kowtowed, that Americans have the wherewithal and temerity and strength of purpose to live our lives in FREEDOM and LIBERTY!
The way to ensure our freedom and liberty is to elect constitutionally-committed public servants who listen to the will of the people, and who will enact laws that do not infringe on our liberties but serve to enhance our freedom by limiting government to its constitutional boundaries.
May God once again bless America!
