Hard to believe, but eleven years have come and gone since a beautiful September morning turned to one of unspeakable tragedy.
We all know where we were when we heard the news - and then watched as our lives were - in a matter of minutes - changed forever.
So many lives lost, so many left behind to grieve, so much bravery.
But even as the flames continued to burn in Manhattan, Washington DC and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania - an amazing thing happened. Americans proved to ourselves - and the world - who we were as a people: Strong. Resilient. United.
Like our flag, the fabric of our nation might be torn at times, or frayed with age - but it remains, always, Red White & Blue.
At the end of that seemingly endless day eleven years ago, President Bush addressed the nation. We took his speech and set it to the theme from the movie “Glory”. As you take time to remember and honor this day, take a few minutes to listen to the words that helped a nation begin the process of healing.
God Bless you and God Bless America.
