9/11 - Never get apathetic - read and remember!

I am copying from another blog and adding some of my own. It is important that we do not forget EVERYTHING that happened that horrific day, nor should we forget why there is a war going on - - it started on AMERICA'S SOIL. I am so sick of the apathy of American's lately. I mean, geez - how quickly we change - how accustomed we are to these kinds of horrors - we cannot let ourselves remember how we were so victimized.

Never forget.......
Words do not give any justice to what happened on this day, 4 years ago. Nevertheless, never forget:

-The 3,000+ people who died that day, and the thousands upon thousands of family members left in the devastation of losing their loved one.

-The people who won our first victory of this war on Flight 93. "Let's Roll."

-The destruction, cleanup, and even rebuilding of iconic buildings. The rebuilding that lets those bastards know that we are not going away and we will win.

-The bravery shown by not just police officers, firemen, EMT's, but "ordinary" people who did extraordinary things that day. Now, that's what makes America shine.

-The outpouring of help made by all Americans. Whether it was giving blood, donating money, whatever.....It all mattered.

-The American Flags which flew from everywhere they could be. Also, the American spirit that arose from this nation.

-The 343 firemen who died that day. They had to know that they weren't going to make it. That is my definition of courage and sacrifice.

-The pictures of that day. Check out these. LOOK and remember... do you remember how MAD it made you? How helpless you felt? How exposed our country was because we were generous enough to let these "men" into our country? NEVER FORGET! http://256.com/gray/thoughts/2001/20010912/pictures/attack/

-The 18, 19, and 20 year old soliders, sailors, marines and airmen all over the world that are making sure that nothing like this ever happens again.

-The clearness of that day. It was a beautiful day that was made ugly. It was an innocent morning, just like the day only a few years before, when we were bombed right here in Oklahoma City. Do you remember that feeling??

These are just a few things, and I know that I'm leaving so much out. Please add what you remember, or want others to never forget.
