The White House Commission on the National Moment of Remembrance
Compiled by a Navy Chaplain
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Almighty God, the past year will be indelibly inscribed in our memories. We looked with horror on the terrorist attacks of last September 11th. But we looked with honor on acts of courage by ordinary people who sacrificed themselves to prevent further death and destruction.
We shed our tears in a common bond of grief for those we loved and lost. We journeyed through a dark valley, but your light has led us to a place of hope. You have turned our grief into determination. We are resolved to do what is good, and right, and just.
Help us to remember what it means to be Americans— a people endowed with abundant blessings. Help us to cherish the freedoms we enjoy and inspire us to stand with courage, united as one Nation in the midst of any adversity.
Lord, hear this prayer for our Nation. Amen.

Thanks for the link.
Those videos gave me chills, especially the one from the dorm at NYU. My college daughter and I watched it several times, and we both cried. I think that day was the worst day of my life. I was terrified for the future of the US, and of what the next step would be, for us and for the terrorists. I was so scared for my children's future.

Wow, pretty powerful stuff. Thanks so much for the link.
That was by far the longest day of my life. Longest week for that matter. I was off that day and had just gotten hired at the job I currently hold 4 days prior to this happening. I was glued to my television all day, never got out of my pajamas. I live about 25 miles West of Cleveland, OH and once all the planes were grounded, the silence was deafening.....I could write a book about that day.
