Today marks the 8 year anniversary of one of the most tragic days in America. I am sure everyone can remember where they were the precise moment they heard and watched the horrible news
of jets crashing into the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania.
It was a day we took in and held a shocked breath, unbelieving what was unfolding before us.
Calls to loved ones, turn on the news! Pictures and notes with loved ones missing. America was attacked like they had not been attacked since Pearl Harbor 1941.
This tragedy changed forever in that one day, our economy, security and family life.
Today across the country there will be ceremonies to honor the victims and heroes of the attacks of 9-11.
In New York, more than 100 volunteers who worked at the WTC are reading names of the fallen.
Mourners gathered for two moments of silence, while bells tolled at churches throughout the city.
Thursday night, crews tested out a light tribute that will shine over lower Manhattan, to commemorate all those who lost their lives.
The light will turn on at sunset, then fade down at dawn Saturday.
Please take moment of silence to pray – for our great country, the surviving families, our men and women in uniform who sacrifice their lives daily, our president and leaders of state.
