What does 9/11 mean to YOU???

What does 9/11 mean to YOU???

To me it means the Day The World Sopped Totally Trusting in One Another.

I luv watching the Smithsonian, Military or Discovery Channel’s.  I luv our history and understand that even from George’s time and before we need to protect ourselves and over time we have gotten much better at it. 

I get why we need intelligence surveillance. I get why we have to protect ourselves against others. Our History as a Plant and Our History as Humans has warranted it.

But 9/11 crossed a line in which no one can ever go back and erase.

I’ll never forget that day I got to sleep in because it was my day off and my husband called and woke me up and told me to turn on the TV.  I sat spelled bound the entire day… Thinking, Praying, Crying and just so Sad at what had happened. At first I though is this for real? Or is this just a really good trailer for the movies? I mean no one would really do this right?

Once I realized watch I was watching was Real and Actually happening I just couldn’t comprehend the true Magnitude of that was happening. 

The senseless loss of life. 

How could someone fly a plane into a building on purpose? How could anyone want to hurt so many people?

Why did so many have to lose their lives because they just wanted to fly home or get to work? Why did other have to lose their lives by just going to work?

How one man’s huge hatred of Americans had the power or resources to do this? And of course why didn’t Big Brother See this coming. Was this Pearl Harbor happening all over again? Didn’t we learn anything the first time around? That no matter how well you think you have things safe there is always room for someone to get thru? That any little link has to be taken seriously? 

Really people didn’t the massive loss of life then teach us anything? I mean the Arizona was never brought for a reason. That reason was, so we all as Americans can remember what the sacrifices where and the reason they all lost their lives? 

Don’t we build museums for that kind of stuff? Don’t we make movies so we all can remember while being entertained?  MAYBE THAT’S OUR PROPLEM. WE DON”T TAKE The THINGS WE SHOULD SERIOUSLY ANYMORE, And The Things We Should WE DON’T!

Well didn’t 9/11 remind everyone a little that day of Pearl Harbor? I mean a massive attack was planned out in secret to hurt the American Government and American People so we are reminded that we aren’t as powerful as we think?

I mean the towers were attacked years before

 as a statement to that fact and no one really took it seriously.

Yes, programs were put into place and drills run but didn’t we make it all too accessible to find out?

What was the price? Was it too high? Have we really ever recovered form it?

We look at pictures, we watch specials and we remember but again,at what price?

Well I say, even now 11 years later we are still paying the price and a very high one at that. One that I think we aren’t going to be able to afford any more.

We Don’t trust. We don’t listen. We don’t talk. And We don’t or won’t try to make it better. We just throw money at the problem hopping it will go away and it just won’t.  Don’t you think after hundreds of years at trying this method we come up with a new one? 

In the years since the world has gotten so crazy. There are school bombings, Massive shootings that hurt so many people Natural Destruction that wipes out so much and so much debt that where do we begin?

Well I say haven’t we lost so much because of one mad man’s crazy brain…Haven’t we lost enough lives over this? I mean just shy of 3,000 that day alone and how many thousand since because of this senseless war. I get Why again but isn’t it time to bring home our guys? 

So I ask again…

WHAT Does 9/11 MEAN TO YOU???

I think we need to start to repair the hurt, despair & untrust.

When President Obama came on TV and said they Got Bin Ladden I cheered along with every other American and thought here is our chance to do so. But all I have seen is more unrest, more distrust, more negativity.

I asked my friend what she thought and she stated:

We will never forget the ones who died not just because they are not here but for their courage that they showed to go where others would not !!
For the passengers and crew in those planes that now have wings in heaven we salute you as well, YOU ARE ALL HEROS !!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!

Well Said.

So I say let’s Honor those who gave their lives even if they didn’t want to, Honor those who responded with courage, Honor those who continue to give their lives and themselves years after and Let’s move on in a positive way and really rebuild the World One Positive Step at a time.
