On this day 8 years ago, Terrorist attacked America. Killing 2993 people, including 343 FDNY Firefighters. We will never forget the hanis and ugly acts of war, That were brought to our door steps that day. Please join us in honoring the 2993 people who died that day, By taking a moment of silence out of your day, To say a prayer for those who lost loved ones, And an additional one for the 343, Who tried to save them and lost their lives in the process.
