I’m shaken
By Jeremy | August 17, 2006
I'll be posting more of my pictures from Ground Zero to
Tonight, we gather to remember a defining moment that transformed our nation and our world. It brought tragedy and unthinkable evil, but in defiance, there arose a distinctly American response. Without fear of hiding, in the midst of adversity and attack, we witnessed a Revival of the American Spirit, the Spirit of Freedom and Strength. And that Spirit arose in you. No matter who you were or where you were from, you came to our rescue. Marked by Grace, you offered Hope that we would recover. On this historic evening we honor every man, woman and child who gave sacrificially. To every person whose life was taken prematurely in the hijacked planes, the Twin Towers, and the Pentagon. To every Uniformed Officer: the Finest of the NYPD, the Bravest of the FDNY, the Port Authority Police, every EMT. To every 9-1-1 operator, relief worker, airline employee, blood donor, public official, union worker, volunteer, counselor, clergy, doctor, nurse, and ordinary Citizen. To every person who didn't know what to do, but gave your prayers, finances and encouragement. To every military person fighting for our freedom. We pause today, and together we say, "THANK YOU." Thank you for your courage in crisis, your strength of character, and your unwavering love. Thank You for being our Heroes. Although few of you will ever become household names, we will never forget you. And we will Always Honor You.From Thanks to Heroes, a tribute I had the honor of offering at Madison Square Garden on the first anniversary of 9/11.

I just saw it last night. You’re right – it’s a moving film. I have family who work in lower Manhatten and were on Wall Street on 9/11. Two of my cousins quit their jobs after the event. So many tradegies. I can’t wait to see Jesus return.
I love NYC – I”m praying for ‘her’ and all my friends and family that live there.
