Hello,
It’s now 09/11/2009. Eight years since the world stopped turning on that tragic day in America.
American Flag Flying High.
We all know the story. The sadness and loss in New York City, Washington DC and the Pennsylvania Countryside.
But there is more about that day than that. It’s about Hope, Perseverance, Faith, and the best things that life is made up of.
09/11/01 – Tragedy. Hope. Perseverance.
09/11/09 - We remember. And we still have hope and perseverance.
Just as much as we remember the loss on that day, we also remember the hope. We remember those men and women who rushed into danger and possible death just to help another person live. They risked their own lives for complete strangers. They are heroes. We remember those who passed away on that day, and honor them.
The Fire Deparment of New York. Heroes.
We sometimes only remember the mind-boggling loss of September 11th, 2001. But we should also remember the mind-boggling good of that day too.
Whether it was the FDNY (fire department of new york), or the NYPD ( new york police department), or the NYPA (new york port authority), people rushed into the danger of burning and collapsing buildings just to save other peoples’ lives.
And ordinary every-day citizens of New York City also rushed into danger, or in some cases back into danger, to help save the lives of people they didn’t even know.
We persevere, remember and honor.
We will never forget that day, and our hope lives on.
We will never forget.
That hope and strength galvanized us as a nation, and made us appreciate our every-day lives even more.
This blog post today isn’t about business, or anything else really.
It’s about remembering that day…
… And remembering that we, too, can make a difference every day in our lives.
We can help a total stranger. We can smile and wave. We can do the things we always put off. We can help those in need. We can do more, do better, do for ourselves and for others. We can remember our hopes and dreams. We can do the things in life we truly want to do.
Being a hero is just a title we give people. Some deserve it though. Those who helped and passed on 09/11… Soldiers in WWII… doctors, nurses, nuns, ministers, volunteers, and on and on. But you and I can do heroic things too. We can help others. We can do for others. We can live our dreams.
So as we remember those who passed and those who helped on that September day in New York, Washington, and Pennsylvania… we can also remember that we too can help others. That we too can have hope and perseverance. That we too can live our dreams.
To the memory and honor of those who passed away, and those who heroically helped others, on 09/11/01.
