OT - Remember and Honor with a Minute of Silence

Just dropping in to make sure that with all the hustle and bustle in our world! Tomorrow marks 6 yrs.

Tomorrow morning at 8:45am EST please take a breath and observe a moment of silence. This is for silent contemplation, prayer, reflection or mediation. This moment of silence is a gesture of respect, particularly in mourning for those who have recently died or as part of this tragic historical event.

There have been a lot of shows on the Discovery channel and on the internet. I have learned a lot of new things that I hadn"t heard before. I hope some day to travel to NYC and see the future monument for all that lost there lives on that day.

It was an awful day for America and especially for those in Flight 93, for those the area of the twin towers and for those in the wing of the Pentagon. If you have a flag put it out if not out there already and fly our flag every day.

My family and I will never forget that day. I hope that America never forgets. May GOD Bless and keep the men and women who lost their lives that day and continue to give strength to their families.

May GOD also be with our members of our armed forces that continue to fight to prevent this from ever happening again.

May he also bless the families of our service members.

I know I will never forget 9/11 or many other dates.
May GOD Bless all that have lost their lives for our freedom.

'Remember Pearl Harbor' was the catch phrase during the WW2. Perhaps it was 'Remember Bunker Hill' during the Revolution and 'Remember the Alamo' in the 1840's. It was 'Remember the Maine' during the Spanish American War and Flander's Fields during WW1. Maybe in the future this era will be known as the Terrorism War and 'Remember 9-11.'

All are part of our Nation's history and worth remembering for the significance of the day, but there comes a time when we need to lay these events aside and tender healthier, happier thoughts. The country was shocked when JFK was assassinated, I remember it well. Although recorded in the history books, that date has once again become just another day on the calender, as it should.

It's not about forgetting, but getting on with life.

The asbestos suit is on, light the torches.

I ask you , why should we TRY and forget and move on? It was a national tragedy and should NOT be forgotten. This country has been too forgiving, and too quick to forget for the last 30 years, and because of that , our children will be on the defensive for the next 30 years it will take to knock out those who want to kill us, or we will bend over and bow to our demise.
