In Remembrance As we prepare once again for the anniversary of the September 11th terrorist attacks, ASMBA would like you to join us in remembering the many innocent victims and the families and loved ones they left behind that day. As the years tick by, let us not forget to stop and reflect on the feelings we all shared that tragic day. Feelings not only of shock and overwhelming grief, but also of the need to come together as a nation. Let us unite once again as we continue to honor the memory of the victims and their families, those who risked and lost their lives, and the men and women STILL fighting for our freedoms across the globe. May the horrors of that tragic day inspire us all to work harder, TOGETHER, to do good, and to serve others. We will never forget. THE POWER OF ONE by Dr. Cheryl Sawyer As the soot and dirt and ash rained down, We became one color. As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building, We became one class. As we lit candles of waiting and hope, We became one generation. As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the inferno, We became one gender. As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength, We became one faith. As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement, We spoke one language. As we gave our blood in lines a mile long, We became one body. As we mourned together the great loss, We became one family. As we cried tears of grief and loss, We became one soul. As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes, We become one people. We are One color One class One generation One gender One faith One language One body One family One soul One people We are The Power of One. We are United. We are America. original photo by Denise Gould (DOD Photo 060911-F-9471G-006)
