Before The World Changed
I took this picture when I was about 16 years old. I never imagined I'd outlast them. Neither they, nor the people murdered within, will ever be forgotten.

Thank you for this beautiful picture! I never visited the WTC at night.
I'll be at the Pentagon today--for the Mustang Club cruise and commemorative service.
Hey, right now a children's choir is singing our National Anthem at Ground Zero. Those beautiful and innocent voices.
God bless America!
Patrickafir,
Forgiveness is only appropriate when the perpetrators of such an atrocity show remorse. They don't in this case. Did you hear about today's new threat?
The innocents who died on 9/11 are still crying out for justice! And there's no justice as long as Islamofascism exists.
AOW, you're very welcome. It was so beautiful. Hope things went well at the Mustang club event! Right on -- God Bless America indeed.
Patrick... glad you liked the picture. You bring up an excellent point about forgiveness. I don't think I can either. AOW makes a great point.
Thanks Bonnie! And you're very welcome. I'm glad I could be of service. :)
I posted part of this as a comment at my own site, but I wanted to let everyone here know about today:
Our local Mustang Club had a large turnout for the cruise today; all of us had flags of some sort--magnetic, decals, actual flags. One fellow fastened a huge flag to a 2x4, and his flag flew high above his convertible, all the way from Dulles to the Pentagon. Quite a sight! And we made quite a sound too, with all the loud, hotrod exhaust systems. We looked like and sounded like a military group. Some in the club lost friends on 9/11, and they spoke at the service we had, under the cerulean blue sky.
In fact, there were lots of tributes at the Pentagon besides the walk. You should've seen all the Harleys, with flags flying. As we entered the parking lot with all the Mustangs, the Harleys were coming out. Walkers in the area gave us cheers and thumbs up. Patriotism lives here, and today was a day for showing it.
What a great way to remember the WTC. I haven't had much to say about today. Thanks for stopping by earlier.
A wonderful picture to have taken, Esther. You are right when you say that the people whose lives were lost and the towers themselves will never be forgotten.

i love this great picture. there is something chilling about the towers in the picture that is a little eerie.
DM - I thought so too. I think it has something to do with the low cloud cover surrounding the towers in the photo. Looks like smoke.
that cloud, and the way the lights of the Towers seem to be in a blur as opposed to the rest of the pic. also, the twilight makes it a little more surrea;, the sky is not quite black, but its dark enough.
AOW, thanks so much for sharing that!
Thanks guys. :) I treasure the photo, especially now.
