Reflections…

September 11, 2001

Alive! 9-11-01 NYC

“Today, we’ve had a national tragedy.”
★ George W. Bush – Remarks at Emma Booker Elementary School, Sarasota, FL
September 11, 2001, 9:30 A.M. EDT

Breathe! 9-11-01 NYC

“At this critical moment, the United States can rely on its Allies in North America and Europe for assistance and support. NATO solidarity remains the essence of our Alliance. Our message to the people of the United States is that we are with you. Our message to those who perpetrated these unspeakable crimes is equally clear: you will not get away with it.” ★ NATO North Atlantic Council, September 11, 2001

Airborne! F-16 fighter pilot over Pentagon 9-11-01

“We are going to do something.”
★Tom Burnett, passenger on hi-jacked United Airlines Flight 93.

I Am Overcome

Terrible Tuesday

That terrible Tuesday those terrorists hit,
They thought our nation’s candle
would go unlit.
We proved them wrong
and lit millions more
and set them outside of our houses’ doors.
On September eleven, we did what we could
and all around the world, other countries understood.
We helped, gave blood, and some gave their lives,
and made sure that our country forever thrives.
“America, America, God shed his grace on thee
and crown they good, with brotherhood
from sea, to shining sea.”
These words were heard, and on, way past tomorrow
we will sing them, with great grief, and with great sorrow.
But our freedom is still with us, and so you see
we’ll live always, with pride, in our land of liberty.

We shall never forget…
