There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.
Reblog this for the 2,996 people who lost their lives on this day seventeen years ago.
9-11-01
In memory of the 2 996 people killed on 9/11/2001. We must also remember that firefighters and police who responded on that horrific day are also victims.
Many firefighters died of cancers associated with the smoke and debris, as they heroically tried to save innocent people. At least 6000 people were injured.
Children lost fathers, mothers, siblings, grandparents. People took flights in good faith and sent their last moments warning other potential victims and saying goodbye to loved ones.
People trapped in the flaming towers who knew they had no chance of survival desperately contacted their loved ones before the end. Many were forced to jump to their deaths by the blast, mistakenly believed to be committing suicide.
Terrorism is wicked. We must continue to fight it.
On Tuesday morning, September 11, 2001, four commercial airliners were hijacked and used to attack the U.S. – two planes were flown into the World Trade Center’s Twin Towers in New York City and a third into the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia. Because of the actions of the 40 passengers and crew aboard the fourth plane, Flight 93, the U.S. Capitol was saved. The four aircraft strikes killed nearly 3,000 people, the deadliest terrorist attack on American soil. Today the National Park Service, its volunteers, and its partners work to honor their sacrifice and to try to understand more fully the legacy of Flight 93 and the other events of 9/11. We will #NeverForget. Photo from Flight 93 National Memorial by Tami A. Heilemann, Interior.
