Twenty-three years ago The Twin Towers stood in lower Manhattan. I used to see them daily on my way to work looking across the New Jersey landscape towards the Big Apple. The Towers were a Landmark for me before I retired.
Twenty-three years ago The Towers stood until roughly 9:00 AM. One hour later they were down and just a memory.
Twenty-three years ago I watched in horror as a second plane crashed into the second Tower. I listened to reports about a Plane crashing into the Pentagon in Washington, D.C. I heard the reports about passengers on a fourth Plane that stormed the cockpit and gave their lives to prevent another tragedy.
I have the Badge and Picture, at the top of this post. They remind me daily of the acts of terrorism that struck America Twenty-three years ago on September 11, 2001. I'll never forget !
A friend, at my request, did the drawing pictured above. It shows the Twin Blue Beams rising into the Sky marking the location of the Towers in NYC. Another friend got the Badge for me appropriately numbered 911. The Badge lays on a blue ribbon in recognition of those who gave their lives on this tragic day.
