remembering 9-11-01

Linking with dVerse poets as we dialogue…


“We have a choice whether to implode and disintegrate emotionally and spiritually…or (to) become stronger.” – Rev. Billy Graham
 

honey, i think you better turn on the news

“A second plane has crashed into the world trade center…”

dear God, is this a bad dream or the end of the world?

“Run, the tower’s coming down!”

oh, no; all the firefighters are in there

“American Airlines Flight 77 has just slammed into the Pentagon”

save yourself or save another?

“God help me. Jesus help me. Are you ready? Let’s roll!” *

Another plane dropped from the sky in rural Pennsylvania

“Tomorrow New York is going to be here and we’re going to rebuild.” **

united we must stand.
 
 
“Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America.” – Pres. George W. Bush


*Todd Beamer, upon dropping call to his wife from Flight 93.
**Mayor Rudolph Giuliani, following the 911 attack in NYC.

    Great post Lynn… Our true foundation was built on GOD. Nothing can shake, implode, or otherwise destroy that rock solid foundation.
