Never Forget.

Never Forget.

Allo Hello everyone. Can't actually believe that it has been 13 years.

13 years ago to this day on September 11, 2001 my life was changed here in America. Today we mourn as a nation for those that lost their lives on that horrific day of cowardness when the World Trade Center in New York and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. was attacked by terrorists.

Thousands of lives were taken away on that dark day and thousands upon thousands were injured. Yet on the darkest of days in American history, we stood tall. Yes we were knocked down by the massive blow but not for very long. Firefighters, police officers, EMT's, soldiers, civilians, bystanders, everyone that was able to lend a hand stepped up to the plate.

You want an example of courage, guts, emotion, passion, meaning. Look and listen to some of the stories on that day when the planes made impact. Look at the imagery of bravery and compassion by our men and women rushing into the sounds of chaos to help out their fellow citizens in agony. Look at what people have done in order to ease the pain and grief of those that lost their mom, their dad, their brother, their sister, their husband, their wife, their BFF, their Day One, their partner in crime.

Life is way too short people. We never known when we are going to take our final breath or walk our last step. You gotta get out there and live your life while at the same time be blessed and thankful with what you got. It may be not much nor it may not be what you want but that's A-O.K. Just be thankful that you got something to work with and keep pushing, keep grindin' towards the things you want to get out of life.

Enjoy your damn life people. No matter how broken down it can get, no matter how shitty it can be at it's darkest moments, no matter how much hate and blasphemy comes your way to derail you off the tracks...ENJOY. YOUR. LIFE.

My condolences and well wishes to all those that were affected by this tragic event 13 years ago. I personally hope that the healing process has gone well for you but I also understand this isn't easy when you lose someone close to you in the matter that it happened. Yet you know that the spirit of that individual that's on your mind on that day that didn't make it home is surrounding you and within you every single day and just when you think you're alone...they are right there. Remember the good times you had with them, God bless you and may all those people that had their lives stolen from 9/11 Rest In Peace.

Allo Hello everybody. Today is Hump Day (Whoop! Whoop!) but it's also a day that we as Americans will always remember due to it's lasting affect on us as a Nation.

On September 11, 2001, an attack was made on American soil as four terrorist attacks were initiated upon New York and Washington D.C. Two planes were hijacked by terrorists and crashed into the World Trade Center in New York City where both towers caught ablaze and came crashing down in a blistering inferno. Another hijacked plane hit the Pentagon in Washington D.C. damaging the western side of the building. A fourth plane was also hijacked with it's target towards D.C. however the citizens of that plane tried overtaking it before it crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania.

2,977 people died during this horrific event; including the 227 civilians aboard the planes, 19 terrorist hijackers, and 343 firefighters on duty trying to rescue civilians.

Today marks the 12th anniversary of 9/11. Yes, it is a day of anger, grief, and sadness because some people lost a dad, a mom, a sister, a brother, a husband, a wife, a B.F.F.; someone special was taken from their lives due to an act of cowardliness.

But fret not for also on this day is a celebration of brotherhood. For as a nation we felt the sudden impact of this day as citizens of the amazing country. With death and turmoil staring at our faces, we picked up the pieces. Firefighters, police officers, EMS, and even volunteers and citizens lend a hand to help out those in need during this dark period in American history. Some helpers paid the ultimate price for their services and for that we are forever grateful for the lives that they touched.

If you lost someone on this day or know someone that did, my condolences go out to you; but don't let this be a day of sorrow. Moment of silence will be happening today at 8:46 AM along with other services during today's observances of 9/11.

We have come a long way from 12 years ago when this struck our Nation. Some never thought that we would be able to recover but we did. They thought that America was on the verge of dying, we're still alive. It may not all be peaches and cream here in the States financially at the moment but one day I believe we will figure things out and be even better as a Nation. Why?

Because of You.

You have the power to make the necessary changes to make America more badass, more awesome, more anything. The people that lost their lives don't want us to be rolling around in an XL puddle of grief and sadness; they want us to thrive, they want us to strive, they want us to live our lives to the fullest and give it our best every single day.

So take a moment of silence to remember those that lost their lives.

Then...get out there and enjoy your day.

Never Forget.

Never Forget.

Can't believe it has been 11 years since September 11, 2001.

On this day we remember those people who had their lives taken away due to the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington DC.  This was one of the darkest days in American History.

Lives lost, lives injured, lives damaged.

However, as a Nation we stood up together even after something as devastating as this and picked up the pieces. Firefighters, police officers, military soldiers, and volunteers went through the wreckage to look for and assist survivors.  We will not stand there and moan forever. We must continue to move forward.

And by God we did just that.

So on this day my condolences and well wishes to those that lost their lives on this dark day in American History. My well wishes goes to the families and friends of victims that lost someone that they love dearly.  

I am damn proud to be an American and the tremendous courage and heart shown by our citizens on this hellacious day is one of the reasons.

God Bless America.
