Never Forget

This is a piece that I wrote on September 11th, 2002. I think it bears repeating here, and I've edited it a bit from it's original form.

Today is September 11, 2008. I think too many people have forgotten what happened just seven years ago today. As you go thru your day today, NEVER FORGET.

-Let us never forget the victims who died in each Tower, the Pentagon, and on the flight in Pennsylvania

-Let us not forget the families of those same victims

-Let us never forget the heroes of the plane which crashed in Shanksville, Pennsylvania which was headed for the White House or US Capitol and the heroes who took it down before it reached those targets.

-Let us never forget being thankful that the FAA shut down flights before flights boarded by terrorists took out targets on the West Coast

-Let us never forget the way we came together as a country. Politics didn't matter, religion didn't matter, race, color, or creed didnt matter. The unifying factor was that we were all Americans, and whether we were in New York, Knoxville, San Antonio, Washington D.C., Iowa, or anywhere else,we mourned together.

-Let us never forget the Motherfucker who's responsible for this. May he burn for an eternity in hell for what he did to this country and to others around the world.

-Let us never forget the lives of our firefighters, public officials, and others who gave their lives trying to help people out of either of the towers and the Pentagon. They answered the call of duty and it cost them their lives

-Let us never forget the U.S. serviceman who've given their lives to guarantee our freedom in both Afghanistan and Iraq. Whether you agree or disagree with the current political situation, the soldiers still deserve respect and admiration and above all thanks for what they've put on the line for us. Many from now back till the Revolutionary War have given their lives to guarantee us freedom, and there's no greater sacrifice that can be made or asked.

-Let us never forget the tears of anger, tears of sadness, and tears of joy once we found out a loved one was ok, which fell on September the 11th, 2001, and let's hope those same tears never have to fall again.
