A day we'll never forget...
September 11, 2001.
The day that changed everything,
and destroyed so many lives.
It rocked our sense of security to the very core.
It scarred us forever.
But it also made us stronger.
Brought us together.
Let us see what we were made of.
Created heroes as well as victims.
Brought sighs of relief as well as wails of sorrow.
We'll never forget the tragedy...
And we shouldn't even try.
Life is not perfect.
It's a struggle, a journey, a work of art in progress.
Life is made up of lessons that are both happy and sad.
Like sunshine and rain.
It makes us who we are.
And teaches our children who they should be.
My heart goes out to the victims and their families.
To the fire-fighters, police officers and medical personnel
who worked tirelessly to rescue strangers as well as friends.
To restore order in the midst of total chaos.
To the reporters and photographers who risked
their own personal safety to preserve the memories of that day forever.
We'll never forget them.
Thank you... for your sacrifice.


My oldest daughter Lisa is a very talented poet.
I am so proud of her!
Here is a poem she wrote to commemorate this
sad day in American history:
One Nation
Dedicated to those who lost their lives
in the September 11, 2001 attack on America.
May God Bless you all!!
In the bright September morning without warning to us all
A few thousand lives were shattered and we watched two buildings fall
And a billion souls felt empty, and the flags at half-mast fly
In the memory of the innocent which didn’t have to die.
We’ve lost brothers, sisters, cousins. We’ve lost family and friends
But we’ve made the choice not to forget their lives and tragic ends
Though we’ve had our share of troubles, we have put them all aside
As a Nation grieves we find ourselves defending them with pride
We’re a Nation of Survivors with one heart we share a tear
But we live to serve the memory, not giving into fear
Though they try to take security with the things they’ve done and said
All their acts of inhumanity bring unity instead
So we stand here as a family. One Heart, One Soul, One Voice
We are challenged by this moment, and united here by choice.
