Hello and greetings fellow otaku,
Now as most of you know, today is a day that changed not only the world, but the way we live our lives forever. Today is the ninth anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Now how many of you readers out there remember where you were on this very sad moment in our nations history. Were you spending time with your family? Were you at your job doing your normal routine? Or were you just starting your day and realize something was completely out of place? Well wherever you were, you will probably remember it with this tragic event.
So I would like to take just a moment to honor those who managed to risk their lives to save those who were trapped in the debris of the World Trade Center, and to those who are in the armed forces who are currently serving in Iraq and Afghanistan who are fighting to protect our freedoms that we cherish everyday. And to those who lost loved ones on this tragic day, we keep you in our thoughts and in our prayers. Take care and God bless!!!!! Ltrs.

You had me till “Iraq and Afghanistan who are fighting to protect our freedoms.” They aren’t fighting for anyone’s freedom there. It’s an occupation and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11.
I was at work until everyone rushed into the conference room to look at the TV. Was quite a somber moment in time for all of us.
I feel the same way, starting my freshman year of high school with such a horrific event. I will never forget this day.
