NINE ELEVEN MEMORIES

NINE ELEVEN MEMORIES Like the glorious Twin Towers that fell, I fear that day, was our descent into hell. Our American values seemingly dashed. Amongst all the rubble from the fiery crash. Giant spotlghts up to the heavens glared. The rubble of the dust, filled the New York night air! The grand thing was, all the flags that we, in memory flew. Days, when Americans honored and died for the Red, White, and Blue! Do you recall, how though frightened, we all were united? We were friendly and that made us calm and most delightes! We honored our firemen, and of course, the brave, staunch, police. We were all healing and made ties with friends, found comfort, our release. Standing under the September stars, on those cool, autumn nights. Remember how your heart pounded when you heard a plane in flight? And despite this horrific attack, that occured so many decades ago. We somehow never lost our love for America again..hearts remain, in the deep, Twin Towers hole! Mayor Guiliani, kept New York City so serene and so calm. He went to hundreds of funerals,providing his human,loving balm. Soldiers went to Iraq, some, sadly, were never to return. And the JFK Memorial candle, in Arlington, forever, still burns! ~God Bless America~ 9/11/2024 @ Panagiota Romiuo

This happened the same year when my mom passed. I felt lost in my personal life and after 9/11 was so frightening for all of us. My uncle was flying during the attacks. He then was among other passengers held in the city they landed in for several days. It was a horrific year for me. I appreciate September Stars in your touching poem. Blessings and love Chantelle

It’s so sad, Chantelle, the numbers of American adults who dont care about 9/11. They do not cate about 10/7/2023in Israel either. Antisemtes march in all cities~ they are the rebirth of Hitler. I am so sorry you lost your Mom on 8/11, how devastating for you! Too, had a friend in flight, worse mu daughters friend perished in the plane that crashed into the Pentagon,we had to drive looking for wedding dresses as my daughter was getting Married, The Highways were empty and I kept looking for one to crash.. so it was a hard time for me. But all of Palestine celebrated 9/11.while most of rge world wept with us.i ffel your pain deeply.. Thank you, Pangie. Your Mom is with you in spirit.

This day was terrifying to say the least. Yes I think we forgot what happened. It is critical we revisit this event each year and our families should as well. Yes this could happen again and we can’t forget that.

It was a day we want to forget, but it changed the Landscape of America entirely! We became hated by other countries, even though we were not the attackers. Today, thiis hatred marches in our streets, like an obscene dragon and in colleges, once places of learning, must bend to unAmeriican attacks, and ideals. Pangie

I DO remember the unity, although I myself wasn't frightened. (See my poem of 9/11 titled '9/11 didn't change me.') Thanks for posting this, P!! ~ Gershon

I was! I was living near a medium sized airpiort, and we lived on the third floor. You could see lights from the planes in my windows, i had been well aware of all the terror attacks in Israel, but to have it happen here?? Was most unsettling. We had helicopters at nigt flying all over ny city, i did not know why. Well the very first terrorist cell in the USa was found here, he had a job delivering ice cream to children yikes. He was deported and released.? Pangie

I can never forgive the people who selfishly caused the death to so many people. Thank you for your reminder.

I understand your feelings! But they and their ethnic brethren, have been trained from birth, that the highest honor is to kill any not of theit faith! They narch n the streets of this country to kill burn, dismember people in israel each week. We now have millions here illegally. Only a matter of time before they attack again. Pangie
