An Acrostic Date - September 11

Some events, in each generation, significantly, our lives do sway Everyone remembers the same exact moment as if it occurred yesterday Past history that stays in our minds, moments we cannot forget Terror reigned upon our countrymen from an unknown threat Even now the vision still haunts us, as many the pilgrimage make Memorials stand now where towers stood before and pictures the visitors take Buried beneath the now sacred ground are souls forever lost Energies spent on security tightening is the ultimate cost Remember forever the events of that day and lives lost in trying to right it 1 day of terror from a stealthy foe and 1 decade now trying to fight it
