WE CAN FORGIVE ~ BUT WE MUST NEVER FORGET ~ AMEN
ON 11th SEPTEMBER 2001 ~ Terrorism not only
destroyed an ICONIC Building and the Lives of
3000 innocent Citizens of the World. It destroyed
Humanities belief in Humanity and made all our
Lives unstable for ever ~ BRIAN WILLIAMS !
9/11 2001 ~ 7:30 am in DE MOINS IOWA watching TV
With American Friends ~ safest place on EARTH !
8:42 am BOEING 767 crashes into N Tower ~ Accident ?
9:03 am BOEING 767 crashes into S Tower ~ TERRORISM !
We watch in horror ~ Our American Friends are crying
9:59 am SOUTH TOWER collapses like a Pack of Cards
10:23 am NORTH TOWER collapses ~ 3000 Lives are lost.
All in less than 2 hours ~ AMERICA is in shutdown & meltdown !
SHE has never recovered ~ Not even TRUMP cannot restore HER
The Memory of that fatal day ~ violation of NEW YORK ~ NEW YORK
and an UNHOLY DESECRATION of GOD\'s OWN COUNTRY ~ WHY ?
The Memory of that fatal day ~ Will live in our hearts FOREVER !
As we travelled through AMERICA (by car) after 9/11 ~ We saw
A POSTER in Austin Texas ~ saying ~ GOD BLESS NEW YORK ~ AMEN
Thanks for visiting ~ memories welcome ~ Love USA ~ BRIAN XOX
WE VISITED Ground Zero in 2002 with our UK Friend PAUL
whose office was on the 101 floor in N Tower ~ Thank GOD
he was away on business on 9/11. He shed many tears for
his lost Colleagues. In 2016 we visited the New Tower (Thats
the American Way ~ knocked down but never knocked out !)
and the MEMORIAL on the footprints of the Towers. Very stark
but in essence very appropriate. Two continuous Waterfalls
disappearing into BLACK HOLES ~ Pray for the USA ~ AMEN
