SEP 11, 22 .. AKA ‘ 9 / 11 ‘ .. SEPTEMBER 11, 2001 .. OUR COUNTRY WAS ATTACKED BY TERRORISTS
A MOMENT OF SILENCE FOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES ON 9 / 11 AND ALL OF THEIR LOVED ONES.
Long Pause. What else can we say or think about 9 / 11 ? We are relatively positive that those of you reading these words can clearly recall where you were and what you were doing as the news exploded across the airwaves here in the United States and around the entire world! Yet another Day Of Infamy!
With Humility and Deep Reverence for all ..

I’m not sure that any of us will ever be freed of the horror, shock and wanton killing of 3000+ innocent lives. I remember it as if it were happening again, just now. Such a brutal attack on U.S citizens and foreigners from throughout the world. All with such wicked intent and planning by religious radicals. I still can’t come to terms with the evil from which this was born.
That morning as I was preparing to leave for work at GCI, I slurped down some last minute coffee and stared down into the living room wide-screenTV. I struggled to make sense of the smoke billowing out from the first World Trade Center building. I tried to jog my senses into reality, that this was happening now….REAL TIME, in New York City. I was truly numbed and paralyzed, so I sat on the top stairs still watching the news reports. Not long after…..the 2nd jet plane struck the 2nd tower! This couldn’t be real! This couldn’t happen in our U.S.A., but it did! The horrors of death and destruction began to compile. It was all nightmarishly horrible as it was being revealed. For me, the suffering of all so close and impacted, and killed sent me into both shock, deep compassion for those who lost their lives, and a hate of men who could conceptualize such wicked taking of innocent lives. Much of that I still carry today.
God Bless those men, women and children who were so selfishly taken from life and family. May their souls be at peace in heaven.

Michael, we both are deeply touched by your amazing comment and insights therein. It truly is difficult to grasp man’s inhumanity to man !! It stunned the nation then and, as you state, it continues to stun our nation. Along with you, our thoughts and prayers go out to all of the family members who lost their loved ones in the brutal attack on 9 / 11 / 2001. Cap and Patti
