Do you recall
The events of today
Eight years ago?
The lives lost,
The hundreds dead,
The ones who saved
Many a life?
Let me remind you
Of the Towers
Mightily crashing down.
Of the ones affected
Not nescessicarily first hand.
The ones who were simply
In the wrong place
At the wrong time.
Of the saviors who died
While carrying their
Comrades and strangers
From the smoldering wreckage.
Let me remind you
Of the children,
Now orphaned.
Of the thousands who
Left well-paid occupations
To join the military
To keep us safe.
Let me remind you
Of visitors from elsewhere
Simply visiting,
Who met a fiery end.
Let me remind you
Of the ones who
Stormed the cockpit
And sacrificing themselves,
Saved so many more.
Saying good bye to their loved ones,
They promised they'd meet again
Someday, in a better place.
Their was a choice for them.
They could either die,
Or die with a purpose.
What did they choose?
Do you recall the ones
Who gave their lives that day?
Today is theirs,
Recognize it,
For them.

- Description: Remember today, for all it's worth. Spend time with your families, and know that today, eight years ago, your life was spared. You could've died that day. It could've been over for you, but it isn't. For many, there is no second chance. They saved strangers, knowing the probibility of death.
