On this 10th year anniversary of Sept 11…..

I give my respect to the lives whose dreams were abruptly snuffed out on that fateful day;

And I give honor to the heroes who bravely laid their lives for our freedom,

So that we who are left behind can continue to pursue ours;

While I offer a prayer of peace to those whose views are different from ours.
