September 11th Remembered

Thursday September 11, 2008
Seven years have passed, yet the memories are still raw for many of us. As we remember the victims and heroes of September 11th, we should stand proud. The American spirit is embodied in the words of Todd Beamer, "Let's Roll." He and his fellow passengers on Flight 93 most probably averted a further strike against an American target, most likely one in Washington, D.C. The image of the World Trade Center falling is one that we will not likely ever forget. We also remember the victims of the Pentagon attack. Let us remember all the victims of terrorism against America as we commemorate the anniversary of this tragic event.

Well that is true. We will never forget these tragic attacks on the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon. I think that they had some intentions for doing this but we will never know.

Whose “they,” and what do you mean by your last statement?
