I am working on a post about my life here at CBU, but right now, it is put on hold. Right now, September 11th must be recognized. Nine years ago, all hell broke loose in America. Nine years ago today, on September 11th, 2001, America was attacked and people were killed. 9 al-Qaeda (a militant Islamist group) terrorists hijacked 4 commercial passenger jet airliners and proceeded to fly two of them into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers. The third airliner was crashed into the Pentagon, and the fourth crashed into a field, due to the heroic effort of the passengers on the airliner. However, no one survived on the fourth airliner. The Twin Towers exploded into flames and collapsed, trapping people, killing people. People were burned to death, crushed to death, mangled, and bloodied. Mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, aunts, uncles, and friends died a horrible horrible death, or were disfigured and mangled for life. Thousands of people's lives were ended. People flung themselves from buildings to keep from burning to death, instead choosing to die by the impact of being smashed upon the ground below. Soot, blood, and debris was everywhere. People were trapped underneath the building rubble, suffocated to death, or crushed to death. The buildings came tumbling down upon the people still inside. Mournful, urgent, terrified screams filled the air. 9 years ago, thousands of American people died a horrible, excruciating, tragic death, a mass murder, planned out by 19 Muslim brutal men. Some would have us forget this event. Some would have us forgive and forget. But if they can forget the mass murder, and attack on the U.S.A on September 11, 2001, they have no right to be called Americans. Nor have they any right to live in America, land of the free and home of the brave. Fellow American's were blown to fragments, burned to death, and put through a living hell! Our homeland was attacked. Our people were murdered. That is not something we should ever forget. Never forget.

Thank you, Cara. Time doesn't erase, but love can heal. Hope is eternal, but evil is real.
Turn always to God,
The only Good.
May He bless you on your journey.
