10 September 2011

10 years

The sun is rising on another day at war in Afghanistan, where the calendar already reads September 11, 2011. 
Our nation's selfless troops, veterans, and military families have treated every day of the past ten years like 9/11. 
To the military community and my military family: while your days are filled with danger, sacrifice, and heroism, our hearts are filled with gratitude. 
Thank you for your service to our country♥

For the husband who told his wife I love you one last time before his plane went down in a field
For the wife who stopped in the stairs to call her husband to say I will love you forever
For the mothers and fathers who kissed their kids goodbye the morning they died
For the policemen who rushed in with the firemen to help get others out only to die themselves
For the soldiers who fought back and lost their lives.

Today, tomorrow, ten years from now, we will remember.

Times of impact: 8:46 a.m. and 9:02 a.m. 
Time the burning towers stood: 56 minutes and 102 minutes. 
Time they took to fall: 12 seconds. 
2819 dead from 115 different nations. 
343 Fireman/paramedics

23 NYPD
37 Port Authority officers.  
I WILL NEVER FORGET 09-11-01
