Eight Years Ago

Eight years ago I was sitting in a friends living room drinking coffee and watching tv. A news flash came on and showed the first of the twin towers engulfed in smoke and fire. Many thought this was a tragic accident. Minutes later they showed another plane flying into the second tower, right then people knew this was no accident, we were under attack. Later we found out that at least two more planes were involved one crashed into the Pentagon and the other crashed in a field in Pennsylvania due to the courageous actions of its passengers. Today I ask that you take a moment out of your busy day and remember the innocent victims in planes and in the towers and the heroes in the police and fire departments that risked and gave their lives in aiding others.
