We Still Remember

This morning, 8 years after the 9/11 attacks on America, President Obama attended a service at the Pentagon where he laid a wreath in remembrance of the 184 lives lost at the pentagon on 9/11/01. When he addressed the crowd, full of mourners, family members and friends of the 9/11 victims he said, "No words can ease the ache of your hearts." Profound words. Acknowledging their loss and allowing their grief.

Although the world goes on, we continue our lives, continue to advance as a society. This morning, we took time to stop, to remember, to reflect and to honor. Although it is 8 years later and we have moved on, we still carry the memory and the agony of that morning. We will never forget. I was proud of all Americans this morning for not forgetting and making effort to show that we remember.

We will remind the terrorists: You did an awful thing, you shattered many lives, you let evil overcome you....but you did not win. You will never win.

We stand taller today as Americans than we did 8 years ago, we stand taller and more determined to protect our freedom.

May God bless America and continue to comfort the families who lost love ones on that tragic Tuesday morning 8 years ago.
