Do you remember?

 

On September 11,2001 a horrific event shocked our Nation. Four planes were high jacked by Al Quida. Two plane hit the twin towers of the world trade center in New York City, One hit the pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. The fourth plane however thank fully missed it's mark, Washington D.C. and crashed in a field near Shankville, Pennsylvania. Regretfully and gratefully after the passengers and crew on the plane realized what was happening they fought to regain control of the plane and brought it down early. In this attack well over 2500 people were killed in this tragedy. From at least 70 different countries. This tragedy though it hit us so close to home it affected many different people from many different back round countries, and religions.  So many though seemed to have forgotten. So many seem to think this tragedy was secluded to one Nation, one religion, and one voice. It wasn't many people who lost loved ones or who died them self's seem to get left out of the equation. They have been forgotten. If one good thing came from this tragedy it was that for at least a little while we stood in unity. All as one as this country was meant to be. For the first time in a long time we all remembered the goal of our founding fathers. Today I ask you to look at those who pass you by or you come in contact with not as an opposer, lesser being, or even notice their differences. I ask you today to notice what we have in common, acknowledge them as equals as the other half of all of us. Today we need not pass blame or claim that one group as a whole was responsible, but rather realize that this is what happens when psychotic people take a religion or belief and twist it for their own personal gain. Remember we all have our skeletons in the closet. Though yes this shook us  so much more then most events it is not the only example of Terrorism. In fact we may see an example very soon from a Pastor who is suppose to represent God.  Who is going to use fear to get his way. We owe it to the heroes, and the fallen of 9/11 to stand up and say we will not let this happen this time, We we will not sit idly by and wait for the fall. This time we see it coming and we will stand in your way. For ever strong, unyielding, and unbreakable. Forever an American. We are a nation of freedom, and we are a Nation of equality. Though some times we forget Equality is meant for all not just some. So tonight we need to remember what happened. We need to vow to prevent it at all costs. A terrorist gaol is to cause fear and force you into submission and hate. We are the only ones who can prevent that. By standing up against it and bringing in love, and unity. So tonight say your prayers, light your candles, but when you do don't forget to include the fallen, the survivors, those who lost loved ones, your country,  your neighbors, and your fellow Americans!

List of the fallen.
