In Remembrance of 9-11
September 11, 2007 by Lillie
Updated 9/12/07: I encourage you to read Misti Sandefur’s Day of Remembrance and watch the powerful video.
Today is Patriot Day, a time to remember September 11, 2001, to honor the heroes of that day and every day since, to give thanks that there have been no terrorist attacks in the US in the last six years, and to realize we must be ever vigilant to prevent the next 9-11.
We can enjoy our comfortable lives in the US because of the efforts and sacrifices of our military, their families, law enforcement and other first responders, and all who dedicate their lives to keeping us safe.
O ALMIGHTY God, the supreme Governor of all things, whose power no creature is able to resist, to whom it belongeth justly to punish sinners, and to be merciful to those who truly repent; Save and deliver us, we humbly beseech thee, from the hands of our enemies; that we, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore from all perils, to glorify thee, who art the only giver of all victory; through the merits of thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
O LORD God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines of our country. Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

we will never forget !!!
Right, Hoto. We must not forget.
…and may I please add:
For all our heros that have made the ultimate sacrifice; giving their lives for you and for me to be safe and sound in our homes and environment, I offer this, my humble prayer:
May your journey in the hereafter be smooth and have all “straight roads and green lights.” Unto God’s gracious mercy and protection, we have committed you. May God bless you and keep you. May God make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. May God lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace, now and forever more. Amen.
Amen.
Thank you for that lovely post. We must never forget the heroes of that day. Although many (too many) died, many were saved by the actions of brave firefighters, police officers, and EMT workers. Let freedom ring. Peace and blessings~
Suzanne,
It is amazing how many survived such a horrible event, and it is amazing how many brave firefighters, police officers, and EMTs gave their lives or suffered long-term health damage to save others.
Thanks for linking to my video. I searched and searched YouTube for a good video to share with my readers and there were several good ones, but this one video just stood out. It was rather long, but personally, I thought it was a great one for the 9/11 anniversary.
Misti,
Thank you for finding the perfect video. I knew I had to share it as soon as I watched it on your site.
Never Forget!
R.I.P. !!
The event fallen in all wolrd people hearts. But unfortunatily it was not first, and will be not last. And I would like to be wrong.
Maybe we need to try understand other people more? Or rather be understanding. I dont want justify anyone. I just want to say that that knowlege is more important nowadays. Regards.
True! The hole world should be in pain! In pain of memories!
Peter and Fashion Directory,
Thank you for sharing.
I wish you were wrong, too, Kristin. But I’m afraid evil men will continue to perform evil acts.
I’m all for understanding, Marta, and I understand that there is evil in the world. Murder of innocent victims is never justified.
