9.11 never forgotten




10 years have passed since the tragic day of 9.11.01 happened. I was really surprised that after 10 years that people still remember where they were on that day. It was posted of Face book and all over twitter. Its one of those memories that will never be forgotten and engraved into out hearts and souls. For me, I was on my mission for only about two weeks. I had gone to the mission office to get materials. They had a TV on and as the second plane hit the second tower I was there to witness it live. That a change that made for everyone. It was scary for Alaska because people where concerned that they would try and attack the pipe line up there. Luckily, nothing ever did happen.


Now after 1o tears they are saying our kids will learn about it from history and books. Its crazy to think that something this big happened while I was alive and is now being taught. I am so old! The TV stations had a lot of good programs on about that day and the new memorial they are building is really cool. The picture above shows that very memorial at night over New York.


As for this picture, these are the gloves and cleats that NFL players got from Reebok's to remember 9.11. However it was said that players who wore these in their game would most likely receive a fine from the NFL. I think one player put it best on his twitter page when he said something to the fact that if they (the NFL) does fine him, it will be money well spent. About two hours later and I am sure a lot of angry fans, the NFL came out saying any players that want to wear the gear could and would not be fined. Every player should have been wearing them but not everyone did. I respect all the players that wore them. I was also impressed with allot of the coaches that wore special NYFD hats that gave their support to those who served and protected those people in the tragic event. It was a really great day of remembrance and respect for those who were part of that tragic day.
