Some times in life we get so tied up in our daily struggles we tend to forget the past, and those who gallantly gave their lives for others. On this day 10 years ago, Humanity took a blow from a cowardly act of evil. Innocent men, women, & children were sucker punched when a group of evil beings decided to take over airliners and cause a tragedy of unbelievable proportions.
On that day, the brave souls of flight 93 rose to the occasion and took the fight to this evil they faced. These were everyday men & women, who stood up to evil and gave their life so others may be spared the consequences that evil had planned for them. At the World Trade Center innocent people were at work when they were blindsided by an unspeakable act of terrorism, out of this horror there were civilians who got past their fears to help their colleagues survive this event. Alot of these Brave Souls did not make it home to their families. The men & women of emergency services (Fire, Ems, & Police) responded to this act as they were trained. They put themselves in harms way, and most paid the ultimate sacrifice for their bravery. At the Pentagon men & women put their lives at risk to save people they may not have even known. All these people from different walks of life looked evil in the face and said not today, not on my watch, not if I can help it. We need to remember all those people who on this day, had an encounter with evil and didn't live through it. This day 10 years ago shows that evil does not make an appointment, it arrives uninvited and unannounced and we all need to be ready to face evil on its place of choosing. The people who lost their lives that day served their watch, it is now time to serve ours. Will you be ready when evil comes calling?

We must never forget all those who came before us and fought for our freedom from evil. Those who served in our military, emergency services, & just everyday people who had the fight brought to them. Some of these heroes still walk among us, others are just a memory. At a minimum we need to keep their memory alive, and remember the lessons taught by their experience with evil. If you encounter one of these heroes that walks among us, be sure to thank them for their service. If you are one of those heroes, (Yes, you are a hero rather you feel that way or not [You were willing to pay the ultimate price for someone else's life, that makes you a hero in my book]) THANK YOU!!!

With that I will leave you with a quote credited to Edmund Burke:
"All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing"
