Never Forget.

On this day, 14 years ago, 2,507 civilians, 72 Police men and women, 343 firefighters , and 52 Military personnel lost their lives in the attacks on the American homeland. Countless people were injured.

This attack affected not only America, but the world over. It sparked wars everywhere that are continuing today still. The Iraq war, From the quick capture of Baghdad to the captures of the cities if Fallujah and Ramadi. The War in Afghanistan against the taliban which continues on still, even if it is not on a large scale as it was early in those times after the attack.

The attack hit everywhere ,but had no greater impact than of that on the American homeland. Using a quote from a marine officer on Iwo Jima in World War 2," Uncommon Valor was common Virtue." Us Americans ( Eddie is writing this btw ) United as a people, regardless of race. We were no longer black,white, Hispanic, Asian, Hawaiian islander, no, we were Americans . It saddens me to see how much we have fought amongst ourselves in recent days, riots in cities and A large civil rights movement for the LGBT community have sparked fights. I for one believe that we Americans should stop fighting, we should accept what we are. And what we are is American, be it Transgender gay Americans, to Heterosexual Straight Americans , we are still Americans. And that my friends , is what matters most.

May all of us, regardless of race, nationality, sexual preference, gender, opinions, regardless of everything. May we all share a moment of silence for those who Perished on September 11,2001.

Thank you
