Despite the unspeakable horrors that took place on 9/11/2001, there are some images...from all across the globe that I think everyone should be reminded of.
They are images of people helping people, of firefighters, police and medics rushing in to burning buildings to help save the hurt and dying. Of search and rescue workers looking for survivors, comforting each other with prayers and friendship when they couldn't keep the tears away. And of citizen heroes, volunteering to search, to comfort and to bring water and food to those in need. They are the pictures of people helping their co-workers to get out, when they could barely walk. They are images of the heroes of that horrible day, some of whom never made it out.
They are images of all of our countrymen and women across the country. Holding prayer and candlelight vigils and building shrines and tributes. Putting up their flag to tell the terrorists that WE WILL PREVAIL. They are photos of those who were donating what they could to families and fire and police departments who had just lost many lives.
They are images of our friends, across the globe who on that day said "We are one world". They are the men, women and children who left flowers and candles at embassies, who signed cards, who held up the American flag next to their own and said "We are your friends and despite our differences, we are all people and we all care". They are the women in Jordan, the men in Bangladesh and the children in Russia and India.
On that horrible day, the terrorists may have thought they proved that they could "get us". But they failed. In fact, all they proved was that the good people of the World, regardless of race, ethnicity, religion or language could be counted on to help each other out. Because good always triumphs over evil. And come hell or high water, united we will ALWAYS stand.
Let Freedom Ring, and let Peace and Love prevail.
