A very beautiful tribute, I will never forget how that day went, forever. The moment of the two towers is imprinted in my mind. And all of the heroes.

I know how you feel. It took several hours for it to really sink in that day...

This is a beautiful tribute to the memory of such an ugly day - it helps me remember that, in spite of the tendency of humankind to sink to the depths of cruelty, we are also creatures capable of the deepest level of compassion and love.
May they all rest in peace

We are capable of heights and depths. I like to think we are moving toward the first a bit more...

It's an uphill climb - but people still surprise me with their compassion.

I don't think any of us will forget where we were that morning. It had such an impact on the psyche of the world and I wish that people would remember how they united in those days. We are fragile, the earth is fragile, and yet horrors continue. We need to wake up...

It was hell. I really did not even believe it was real at first. I remember seeing it on the telly at work and thinking I was watching a bad movie...

I felt the same. At the time I was in customer service for Fed-Ex and everything came to a standstill as we watched it unfold. I received a call that morning from a customer angry because we wouldn't be able to retrieve his package. It was, of course, under the rubble of the World Trade Center. There was zero concern for the massive loss of life from him and I am bewildered by that to this day.

Eh, people can be so utterly self-absorbed and selfish. I should be used to it by now, but....

Thank you for sharing this tribute with the many of us that can't get there to share our own. Blessings on the ones we've lost, the ones that remain behind, facing the pain every day and the ones that fight to avenge the injustice.

You are welcome. I think a lot of people were effected by this. I was supposed to have gone to Portugal that month, but the trip was canceled due to a health issue with a member of my group. The travel company, based in Paris, was devastated by the tragedy of 9/11.

Sounds like all was not lost, trip-wise.

SAD DAU TODAY BUT NOTHING IS VAIN....We must be the future, an other future, without so many freedom in some sectors.
Sometime, hate feelings are natural and necessary.
I'm sorry to say that but I mean it.

A day we shall never forget as long as we shall live. The saddest day of all. In memory of those who lost their lives.

It is one of the saddest days our world has lived and one we will never forget,the way life and history changed that day is still something heavy in the heart and the mind...
May all of the ones who died and the ones who suffered be and rest in peace.

It reminds me of two of my favorite songs from Les Mis..."Empty chairs at empty tables" and "Do you hear the people sing?"
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You are right dear Brendan,those songs really 'fit' for the tragedy lived.
It will always be a sad day to remember,just a few days ago I watched 2 programs in the History channel about September 11th and even if you know it is a tv program,you can't avoid living that fear again,no terror/horror movie could be so scary as what we saw that day.

I just do not ever want to see it reduced to a bad movie plot...

I completely agree with you love,it would be unfair for the memory of those who suffered that day.

May they rest in peace, every one of them.
Nothing more we can say.

We need reminders like this, to remember, and to never forget that tragic day

I do not think we ever will. I just do not want to see it reduced to a sales event like so many other memorial days.

I'm so glad you posted this today. I saw it an went "oh my heck! It's 9-11!"
Why have we forgotten? It wasn't too long ago. I think it's interesting how our nation came together...and now has fallen apart worse than we were before.

We have not forgotten, love. But we are letting petty differences get in the way...

That was said much better. It's so sad to see.
I was on campus and there were some boys who had a big banner that said something to the effect of "come voice your opinions about the 9-11 conspiracy" I mean, really. Come on. It's a day to honor those who died.

Conspiracy?? WTF??? Yeah..and the Holocaust never happened...

Exactly! I was so offended. Honestly.
So how are things with you!?
