Remembering September 11th
Heartfelt thanks to each and every rider and driver who took part in escorting the WTC Steel to its future home. You all are true patriots and played a huge part in the Kitsap 9-11 Memorial Project steel transport. Special thanks to Jim "Bikervet" Dickson and the Patriot Guard Riders of Washington for pulling it all together and making it a safe, memorable and historic event for everyone involved. You truly define the term "with honor".
May we never forget exactly how we felt, where we were and how much we all meant to each other on that horrible day. People across the country and around the world mark this day with a moment of silence or by listening to the thousands of victims' names read aloud at the memorial ceremony in New York City. Others will give back to their communities in the same spirit of compassion that we witnessed in the aftermath of the attacks. Many of us will hold our loved ones a little closer as we remember each innocent life that was taken from us on September 11, 2001. In the end, there is no right way to remember that day. It's only right that we do remember.
The passing of days, months, and years does not lessen the obligation to remember the tragedy of 9/11 and the way that we individually and collectively came together to support one another after the attacks. It reminds us of the
binding connection that we share with one another. It reminds us to fulfill our obligation to preserve the story of September 11th for generations to come.
Many thousands of people remember September 11th as the day that their loved ones did not come home to them. We remember the fathers, mothers, husbands, wives, sons, daughters, sisters and brothers -- whose memories we shall never forget.
The Kitsap 9-11 Memorial Project is dedicated to the men, women and children who lost their lives; those brave people who gave their lives and the Heroes that responded to the emergency on September 11th, 2001.
