Special Edition

Hello Harryholics! Usually here at HA we like to have fun and look at the lighter side of life. However today in this special edition of HA I want to pause and reflect on the 10 year anniversary of 9/11. To quote a song: "where were you when the world stop turning, on that September day?" I look back at all of lives being on a continuum and that day sent us off on a completely different path. 9/11 changed all of our lives. I can speak for myself especially because even to this day I break down to tears when I recall the people jumping from the towers on that horrible day. It was a traumatic thing to see and live through, and I hope that I will never see death on that scale for the rest of my life. All seemed lost. Our innocence, safety, and well being up in smoke. A remarkable thing happened however. The spirit of patriotism was seen on the streets of lower Manhattan, in the parks surrounding the Pentagon, and in a rural field in Pennsylvania.  The spirit of those heroes will never die. The country united, healed, and here we stand ten years later. To the terrorists out there who planned this mission: you failed. We are stronger and we are united. Today we are not Democrats or Republicans, we are Americans. And all of us stand strong, and we all are united in remembering those who died that day. They will never be forgotten. God bless the United States of America.
