11 After 911...

Never underestimate the ability of the enemy to underestimate America...




Time passes before reflection can really begin to settle in...

Today is the eleventh anniversary of the attacks on 911. Hard to believe it has been over a decade since that horrid day. 2,974 people died in the attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and Flight 93, which crashed in a field near the small town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It was the largest loss of life in an attack on our homeland in the history of America.

God bless the souls of those that were murdered that day and the families that they unwillingly left behind. I can't say the same for the terrorist that carried it out. No one can imagine what it was like to be on those planes, or be the relative of someone that lost their life that day. I can feel a bit of their sense of loss since my parents were in an airport waiting to board a flight exactly when it all happened. My family was coming out to California for a special occasion, but all flights were cancelled and they took their bags; avoiding all the chaos at the airport, and went home to watch all the horror unfold on television.

Luckily for me, my parents weren't on one of those planes. Although I imagined in the days and nights that followed what I would have done if they had been. I feel for all those that lost loved ones and can't fathom the hole it must have left in their hearts.

I can remember how I felt when it all came down, how it felt like time had stopped when those planes struck the Twin Towers. No one knew what was happening or what would happen next.

No one still does, but memories fade. Perhaps that's how humanity deals with the pain and the sorrow of loss... but it also leaves one with a false sense that everything is just fine and everything is back to normal.

Nothing is normal anymore... hopefully with places like Disneyland, DisneySEA and great Disney animated films we can escape a little of the sadness and heartache, but we should never forget what happen on that dark day in September.

Never...

Ten Years Out, Forever In...

We will prevail...

9 After 911...

Rebuild them taller, bigger and louder because you won't stop America from being America...

Time passes so quickly we sometime loose track of where we've been while heading where we're going...

Time, Memory And Healing, Eight Years Out...

Remembering What Should Never Be Forgotten...

Today is the seventh anniversary of the attacks on 911...

2,974 people died in the attack on the World Trade Center, Pentagon and the plane which crashed near the small town of Shanksville in rural Somerset County, Pennsylvania. It was the largest loss of life in an attack on our homeland in American history...

God bless the souls of those that were murdered that day and the families they left behind. I can't say the same for the terrorist that carried it out.

Needless to say, Disneyland and Walt Disney World were closed as a result of the attack. Most people at the parks were in a panic... no one knew what was happening or if they would be next.

No one still does, but memories fade. Perhaps that's how humanity deals with the pain and sorrow of loss... but it also leaves one with a false sense that everything is back to normal.

Since that day, America views the world from a prism of fear and doubt. Nothing is normal anymore... hopefully with places like Disneyland and great Disney animated films we can escape a little of the sadness and heartache, but we should never forget what happen.
