For anyone who witnessed the events of September 11, 2001, whether on television, via Internet or in-person, the memory is hard to forget. The sight of Americans tumbling to their deaths in the Twin Towers was something nobody woke up that morning expecting to see.
September 11, 2001
News reports suddenly informed us that a plane had struck the World Trade Center. Some of us rushed to find out what had happened, perhaps calling loved ones. Then, unbelievably, a second plane ran into the other building. It was then that we all knew that what we thought was a horrific accident was instead a planned attack. Later, the authorities confirmed our suspicions with reports of even more attacks from the air, hitting the Pentagon, the heart of our military defense, and killing passengers of a flight taken off course into Pennsylvania.
The September 11, 2001, attacks are on the same level of those of Pearl Harbor. Our leader then, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, spoke via the radio in 1941, informing the people that the date, December 7, would live in infamy. The Pearl Harbor attack was something never to be forgotten, he told us. It is this same spirit that must exist now for 9-11. On this date, the American people had to come to terms with the fact that there are those in the world who want to take our freedom. They want us to live in fear. We must not let that happen.
Show Your Support with a 9 11 Patch
So, what can the average person do? Show support is the answer. Just as military and political leaders sport flags on their lapels, you can don one of the colorful 9 11 memorial patches. Doing so could be just the thing someone who lost family in the attacks or subsequent overseas battles needs to see to keep going.
911 patches are a way that anyone can demonstrate pride in country and show support for those who gave their lives to help defend American freedom. 9 11 patches can be added to clothing, jackets, hats, backpacks, and more. Show your American pride and patriotism with one of our high quality patches.
This is not the time to forget what happened on September 11, 2001, but to remember how Americans can come together in spirit in a time of need.
