moment of impact

It is a day that forever changed our nation. I can remember exactly where I was thirteen years ago when I learned why the sky was starting to fill with smoke.  I think the images from 9/11 will always convey the rawness and brutality of the attack that will forever place an impact on generations to follow. In November 2001 President George W. Bush quoted "Time is passing. Yet, for the United States of America, there will be no forgetting September the 11th. We will remember every rescuer who died in honor. We will remember every family that lives in grief. We will remember the fire and ash, the last phone calls, the funerals of the children."  
 This picture is very emotional because it is a remembrance of those that were taken from us, and to thank those whose memory kept us from falling down. It’s been a long, hard road since 9/11, and it will continue for many years.
