Well said, my good friend. We shall all embrace this message~

Yes. September 11, 2001. One of the darkest days in the history of the United States. Of my home.

I salute all victims of the terrorist attacks as well as those who lost their loved ones in said attacks. As much as the sad truth is, some things just happen, whether we want them to or not. This day brings bad memories for me. (I'll tell you that story if you PM me in chat.)

We should all be grateful for every sunrise we awake to see. Some people think of it as a new hope, like me. Some find it as a new opportunity. Some find it as another day in their "miserable life." And they are all right.

The people who awoke on this very day 14 years ago, without knowing it, were going to face one of the largest life or death situations ever. Some were completely innocent and lost their lives without knowing it. Others knew what was happening, and risked their lives to save other innocent folks.

Long story short: let us all be thankful.
