8 Years Later

Black Friday, Pearl Harbor, JFK Assassinated, Man Walks on the Moon, Nixon Resigns, and September 11th. They are all significant moments in the history of the United States of America. People who lived during those moments all have memories shared by millions of other Americans. Great-Grandparents, grandparents, parents, and their children share these memories from generation to generation. That's how we humans grow. We learn from those experiences and hopefully become better. Better citizens. Better leaders. Better people.

And we remember all those who lost their lives eight years ago today. We remember those loved ones who lost loved ones on that terrible day. We remember those heroes that rescued people in NYC and at the Pentagon and those who died trying.

And we don't forget those twisted individuals who in the name of their fanatical beliefs tried to put out the flame of liberty and democracy with their evil, hateful deeds. They failed to break us and they helped further unite us.

God bless America.
