As I looked through hundreds of photos of 9-11, this one was the most sobering...all of those faces. It made more of an impression on me than smoldering buildings, firey jets or raised flags.
Agreed truly is the best one to use Be nice if those upon high would refuse To let such stuff happen again But I fear thus is the stupidity or greed of men But I hope something like this never happens again ever Although this day in aga one can never say never
I agree - chilling, yet appropriate! My brother worked at the Pentagon then (& now)...he emailed me at 7:30 that AM to tell me he had a meeting at 9:00, but I didn't know if he was in the building or not. His call didn't come until 11:30 AM - praise the Lord he had been across the street! He lost 2 co-workers that tragic day. Yes, CHILLING for sure! Thanks for sharing this Betsy.
Wow Marsha, I bet those hours were horrible waiting to hear that he was ok. Glad he wasn't in the pentagon!
I think we tend to think of the buildings and the lost as a group and forget how they were individuals with families, friends, hopes, dreams, goals and lives to live. Seeing each of their faces reminded me of that.
Thank you for sharing Betsy. Crying here .... what an emotional and sobering experience we all went through. These good people taken from us. If you don't mind I will use this picture with some others.
I remember and I still weep about it. Not even just for those who died but for all who loved them and all those that still suffer, whether victims or rescuers.
We will never forget them. I still cannot come to terms how ANYONE can imflict this evil on their fellow humanity - and expect to be rewarded in Heaven for doing it. It defies belief. I remember being absolutely stunned seeing the what happened on that awful day. May God bless those dear people who had their lives taken from them so cruelly - and not to forget those brave men on flight 93 when they prevented terrorists causing even more atrocities. Your cousins from across the pond are united totally with you in USA on this tenth aniversary ~ Eddie
I listened to each name being read this morning on TV at the NYC commemorative service. It was so very sad. I hope that one day 9-11 will be a day of service and doing kind acts so that good can overcome the evil of that horrendous act that took these lives.
The photos of nearly all of those who died in the attacks of 9-11-01. 
Amen.
ReplyDeleteAmen!

ReplyDeleteI'm so with you, Kim. I call that justice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Betsy, I was afraid that thought of mine might be too controversial.
ReplyDeleteKim ~ haha...well, I doubt we are the only two that think that. :)

ReplyDeletePat ~ I did, too! The kids reading their parent's names were especially touching...
