Six years later

It's September 11, 2007. Six years ago our country was attacked and 3,000 people perished in the world trade centers, the pentagon, and in a small field in Pennsylvania. "We will always remember" has become the slogan for that day. Though what is "we will always remember?" We will always remember those who died? We will always remember those who are blamed for the attacks? We will always remember who have tragically lost their lives since then? Finally we will always remember where we were at when in that moment in time the people in the United States fell to their knees. Today is the anniversary but what it seems to be is that you, me, she, and he is that will always remember where you were at in that moment in time. At the University of Central Florida there will be memorials across campus throughout the day. In Dr. Crepeau's AMH 4231 - U.S. History 1914-1945 class he asked "Where were you on that day?" Answering the question one by one the class recalled "the" day. Among the answers, many remarked about the pristine weather. Though that was all in the past. What about the future? According to today's BBC news Bin Laden released another video with audio that praised the 9/11 hijackers. This, only a few weeks after his first video in three years.
From the Boston Globe, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick called the 2001 attacks "a failure of human understanding."
Finally I encourage you to read the story by Joyce Wadler from the New York Times "The thing about these 9/11 stories..."
I found these photos at the New York Times and thought they were truly worth posting.
