Well as you all know 5 years ago today, the 9-11 terrorist attacks took place. Nearly 3,000 Americans lost their lives in no more than an hour and more are still dying to this day from cancer. Thousands of people were forced to carry on with the loss of a family member, co-worker, or good friend. That was the most memorable day of my life; I can recall sitting in my 7th grade art class and hearing that a plane hit the World Trade Center. I will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that so many people gave. I am from a huge family of firefighters and the sacrifice that the FDNY firefighters gave is very personal to me, because I know that my dad, several of my cousins or uncles could be called to make that same sacrifice at any moment.
A major reason that I am writing this is because in school today, there was no mention of the events that took place on September 11, 2001. I was hoping that at the very least there would be a moment of silence to honor the lives that were lost, but there was none. So if you haven't taken some time to reflect on this 5 year anniversary I ask that you do, because we can Never Forget!
