Always Remember

Twelve years ago today,
Heroes emerged to save the lives of innocent victims.
New York City gathered against hate and fought fear with love and peace.
America united-
Freedom comes at a price;
Today, I am grateful for all of those selfless men and women who continue to fight to keep our country the land of the free and the home of the brave!

Remembering

Ten years ago today, my roommate woke me up in a panic. We sat in our mid-town Manhattan apartment crying as we watched the events unfold on television.

I'll never forget the smell in the air that night, or how it lingered as a reminder weeks after the tragic day.

My heart will never understand such an evil act. My mind will never be able to release the images, smells and sights that I witnessed...

But today, I want to send love, energy and prayers to the victims and survivors of 9/11.

To all of our uniformed heroes- I give you my undying gratitude. Thank you to all the men and women who dedicated their lives to serving the United States of America.
