9/11 -- Today
we remember. We remember the shock we all felt two years ago when foreign
terrorists launched an unprovoked, unanticipated attack on innocent people
in our country. America watched the incomprehensible in frozen, abhorred
silence.
We watched
while those trained to defend and rescue did their best. Miraculously, they
saved many. Sadly, many lost their lives selflessly. Thousands of innocent
people were massacred that day.
Today we
remember who we are as a country. We are proud and strong. We will not bow
to a malicious coward.
We remember
those who are trained and ready to risk their lives for our safety and
protection every day.
We remember
our military who daily defend our county.
We remember
generations of leaders who have stood against those who would harm us.
We remember to
thank God for the compassion, vision and strength he has given America.
We must
remember this and all that is right, true and good to be the strong country
that we are.
Representatives of our Logan County heroes
began this day of commemoration with a 9 a.m. ceremony on the steps of the
Lincoln post office. Lincoln City and Rural Fire departments, Lincoln Police
Department, Logan County ESDA, Logan County Paramedic Association, and others were presented with plaques.
