Twenty Years ago unthinkable tragedy struck our nation.
Those of us who witnessed the attacks of 9/11 can recall where we were exactly. And we remember the strength and unity the United States presented in the aftermath.
While today events that were put into play all those years ago have resulted in recurring tragedy for our military. Those of us who witnessed the towers fall, our citizens jump to their deaths and the stories of brave citizens fighting and dying to prevent attacks we remember their sacrifices and why we were originally in the Middle East.
Today we remember the events of 9/11 and we honor the fallen American heroes from Kabul.
“I stare in total disbelief,
heart torn with instant grief.
Plumes of black smoke fill the air,
marking a building no longer there.
I close my eyes, I want to pray,
but my mind doesn’t know what to say.
Much like Pearl harbor, so many years ago,
so many gone with one fatal blow.
There are no words to explain,
there are no words to ease the pain.
To those who gave their lives,
Mothers, Fathers, Husbands and Wives,
to all who’s lives today did cease,
may your soul find instant peace.
We will honor you and the life you gave,
as a Patriot of “The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.””
