Just before work this morning I visited www.history.com. They have an interactive map of  New York City. You can click on certain spots around the map and an eyewitness video will play showing the events of 9/11 from that vantage point. I was shocked by the emotions that stirred within me. I could only handle watching two of the short clips.

I remember I was sitting at my desk that morning. One of my co-workers said that a plane had crashed into the first tower. We quickly pulled up the live videos on our computers, and we were stunned as we watched the second plane crash. I was safe, hundreds of miles away in Atlanta Georgia. I did not then, nor do I now have the capability to relate to the those that were there. I just remember how numb I felt. It was hard to believe. About an hour later we were sent home. We all packed up our things and left the building. Not a word was spoken.

May we never forget, never forget the firemen, police and ordinary people that risked and sacrificed their own lives to save others.

May we never forget the men and women who were just trying to go about their normal everyday lives.

May we never forget those who thought they were flying to a vacation of a lifetime, or trying to get home to a loved one only to find it a nightmare.

May we never forget those who sacrificed their lives so that flight 93 would never find the terrorists target.

May we never forget the men and women of the Pentagon who lost their lives that day.

May we never forget those who survived but still live daily with the scars, both seen and unseen.

May we never forget the men and women who serve and sacrifice in the Armed Services to make sure it does not happen again.

May we never forget 9/11/2001
