Don't forget

Last night my mom and I watched a dateline special about the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center. 10 years ago from Sunday will be the anaversery of this tragic terrorist attack. As we watched the horrific videos from then, it brought back memories of that awful day......
Mom, Seth, Leif and I were all starting our typical Tuesday morning with some school exersises. A normal day right? It was until we got a call from our dad at work, telling us to turn on the TV. We turned it on, having no clue what to expect. The scene of an airplane crashing into that building will never leave my mind. The sight of the of all the fireman rushing into the building. One man said on dateline last night, "It was amazing, while we were all trying to get OUT of the building, those men and women were running INTO it, to save lives..."
You know how the rest of it ended. Another airplane crashed into the South tower, the trusses gave way and fell down. Killing many of the firefighters and men and women just like you and me. An airplane into the Pentagon, and another attempt at what was believed to be, the Capitol. But thanks to the courage of brave passengers, they attacked the terrorists, trying to take over the airplane, but crashed in a field...
I cried that day. For the loss of innocent people, for their families, for everyone who risked their LIFE to get men and women out of the Twin Towers. There is evil in this world. And I pray that I will never have to face it, the way they did. But I know if I do, God will protect us, if we have faith in Him.
As much as we would like to forget that day, we can't forget it. We MUST remember it. Remember the men and women who rescued all those people, the passengers on Flight 93, who gave their lives to protect more innocent lives.
God Bless all the families of those brave men and women, and God Bless America.
