My 9-1-1 tribute

I have not been able to blog the past few days, so this is my belated 9-11 tribute for this year. I have not done anything before. I am not sure why this year struck me so hard. Perhaps the finalities of this year. This will be the last year the loved ones in NY will be able to go down to Ground Zero because construction is going to start within the next year. This is the first year for the Pentagon Memorial Park. Maybe I'm just very sensitive to loss this year. Whatever it is, this was a hard one this year.

I heard it on TV that morning from David Beamer something along the lines of (because I cannot remember the exact wording); "we have had seven more September elevenths, but we have not had another 9-11.." and I thought that was so profound to think about, and could not help but be so thankful for that fact. It's not due to lack of trying as I believe it's up to six plans have been thwarted in that same time frame, too.

I hope you'll enjoy my playlist as it is in honor of those who lost their lives on that day, of their loved ones, and for our brave military who has sacrificed so much since '06 in the war on terror.

You'll have to start the music, as I realize some read from their workplaces and did not want to scare you to death (or have attention called to your office!) by having it on 'autostart'.
