This year marks 12 years since that beautiful September day when terrorists attacked America, killing 3,000 innocent souls and destroying the Twin Towers with two jet airliners while also ramming a jet into the Pentagon and into the countryside in Shanksville, Pennsylvania.<br /><br />I reflect every year. This one is no different even though it's been a dozen years since that day, but it's etched in my memory ... it will not escape my mind.<br /><br />It bothers me that younger generations seem to already be detached from 9/11. After only 12 years. Why aren't they being taught of that tragic event?<br /><br />Please fly an American flag on Wednesday in memory of those who died and as a tribute to our military, firefighters, police officers, First Responders, and everyone else who was on the front lines, not just on 9/11 but right on through today. Fly American flags at home, work, and anywhere you can.<br /><br />And please don't forget what happened that day....

Spontaneous chants roared from the crowd of rescue workers on September 14, 2001, three days after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, as President George W. Bush stood at Ground Zero and, with bullhorn in hand, said the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7OCgMPX2mE">words that were heard around the world</a>:<br /><br /><blockquote><b>President Bush:</b> Thank you all. I want you all to know -- it can't go any louder (referring to the bullhorn) -- I want you all to know that America today is on bended knee, in prayer for the people whose lives were lost here, for the workers who work here, for the families who mourn. The nation stands with the good people of New York City and New Jersey and Connecticut as we mourn the loss of thousands of our citizens<br /><br /><b>Rescue Worker:</b> I can't hear you!<br /><br /><b>President Bush:</b> I can hear you! I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you! And the people -- and the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!<br /><br /><b>Rescue Workers:</b> (Roar from the crowd) USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! <br /><br /><b>President Bush:</b> The nation sends its love and compassion ...<br /><br /><b>Rescue Worker:</b> God bless America!<br /><br /><b>President Bush:</b> ... to everybody who is here. Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for making the nation proud, and may God bless America.<br /><br /><b>Rescue Workers:</b> (Chanting) USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!</blockquote>May we never forget.
