记住9/11/2001
每年的这个时候对许多人来说都有特殊的意义. Some are beginning a new year in college, others their first day of school or the start of a new job. September reminds us that fall is just around the corner, and we feel a sense of rebirth and time for a fresh start.
At the same time, the events of September 11, 2001, remain prevalent in our thoughts and memory. While many of our 学生 had not yet entered the world or were too young to remember, others of us can remember the exactly where we were when learned of the attacks. We watched in horror the images on television as we realized our country had been attacked by terrorists in such an unimaginable way. This day shook us to the core and changed the way we view the world, 全球网赌十大网站的生活方式, 挑战全球网赌十大网站自己的信仰和思维.
I have watched several documentaries this week as we remember these events 20 years later. I have been touched by the stories of families who lost loved ones and of the heroes who led many to safety, the memories of young children (now grown) and teachers at the school where President Bush was visiting when he learned of the attacks. It also reminded me of how this horrific event led to a sense of unity for our country as we navigated the aftermath together.
本着团结和同情的精神, I hope we can all take a moment to remember and pray for all those who died and all the family members and loved ones who whose lives were affected by this tragic event. 除了, I hope that we can pledge and challenge ourselves to use our talents, 有能力和精力去鼓舞别人, 支持边缘人群, 爱邻如己.
请在上午10点加入全球网赌十大网站的社区.m. in front of Grace Chapel today for a brief prayer remembering the many lost on this day.
弗雷德·惠特，总裁
