This 9-11, many bloggers will post tributes. This is our tribute…

In memorial events and in our hearts we will continue to remember the countless emergency service personnel, families, friends, and neighbours whose lives were lost or completely altered forever on 09/11.

09/11 was a tragedy. Although we are many miles away, we have not forgotten what transpired on that day.  We will never forget that day.

09/11 has become a transition for some families, who have now turned from mourning to preserving memories of their loved ones through good deeds.  The heroic acts of all those killed trying to save others this September morning spawned a growing movement.  The goal is now to ensure that future generations remember not just the horror of the attacks, but also the extraordinary outpouring of humanity during those days, weeks, and months that followed.  It was the worst possible day imaginable for some, and in some ways, a remarkable day too, in the way in which people responded.  Let us not remember this day for the evil acts of violence targeted at fear, panic and death. Rather, let us remember the human spirit, the brotherhood of mankind, and the goodness that not only New Yorkers but Americans and people all around the world have dedicated to saving our most precious resource:  LIFE!!!

Let us pause and remember our heroes in special uniforms, those brave souls not in uniform... who died trying to help so many souls - our first responders... firefighters, police, paramedics... and let's remember those doctors, nurses... countless others including civilians who rose to offer assistance without hesitation.  And, let us remember those left behind - mothers, fathers, wives, husbands, sisters, brothers, uncles, aunts, ... the children, etc... who were left behind to carry on without their loved ones.

In memory of all those lost and forever missing from the events on September 11, 2001... at the
World Trade Center, the Pentagon and the thwarted mission that landed in Pennsylvania.  We shall forever be united in courage, grief and faith.
