Seems like it just happened. Images still fresh in our minds of planes hitting buildings, people running like wild animals in the streets, buildings crumbling to the ground killing thousands, FDNY, NYPD, tears of unmeasurable sadness not only in New York, not only in the US, but around the world.
All that was left is a giant void. Not only on that plot of land in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania, but in our nation's heart.
We came together.
We responded, and reacted together as one.
7 years ago the face of our nation was changed forever. Such a traumatic event as 9/11 was will stand out in the memory of all that can remember. Comparable to the attack on Pearl Harbor, the bombing of Hiroshima, even the Challenger exlposion in 1987.
It's terrible that such an event has to occur, and that it takes such an event to get our nation to bond like it did.
We can move on, we can rebuild, but we can never forget those men and women who were lost that terrible day.
You will not be forgotten.
