September 11, 2007 - 8:46 a.m. The United States of America observes a moment of silence. Bells ring it is a sobering day for most of us. We as a Nation remember one of the most horrible tragedies implemented by enemies of the State on our own soil.

Six years later what is the average American Saying about it? I can remember exactly what I was doing at that devastating moment in our history. I was in South East Chicago visiting my Partner at the times mother and sister. My partner was back in my city of Madison, Wisconsin. the moment was very sobering, as I sat there with Good Morning America on my Television screen.

My daily ritual for many years has been to watch the morning news. My partner at that time use to give me a lot of grief for turning the idiot box on first thing in the day. On 9.11 it would prove him to be wrong about my attitude for turning on the news. The day that unfolded after that crazy instance.

Four commercial airlines had claimed many lives in a crash that was caused by terrorists on board who believed in dying for their fundamentalist beliefs. All Commercial Airlines, and Private Planes were immediately grounded.

I simply could not believe the insanity that unfolded before my eyes on the Television. Someone had gotten the video footage that a citizen had caught on film. Then during the broadcast, there was a lot of speculation. The media was trying to discover what happened to the first tower, it was smoking and on fire. Then it happened live on the news, the second plane came in and hit the other tower. We knew without a shadow of a doubt, that this was terrorism. Then the third plane hit the pentagon, and another plane destined for the White House went down in Pennsylvania.

Throughout the day I had a lot of radio announcements on. It was important to me to stick close to what was happening across the Country. We later would learn that the casualty numbers were very high. Our way of life was forever changed that day.

Now we have barricades in front of most Government buildings, and high security for those areas. I can remember on that day, pretty much the entire city of Chicago was evacuated from the downtown areas. It was a ghost town at this point. There are very few who pay attention to the current status of the Terror alert system that was created shortly after this insane day.

My greatest fear is that many of the lies and false information, will become mainstream American History. I truly hope the spin doctors lies are not taught as historical fact in our Schools. Our Nation has a repetition of not presenting the truth when it comes to educating our youth. This would be the greatest tragedy of 9.11. For the children's children would have forgotten what this whole mess was about.

My other fear about 9.11 is that it becomes a National Holiday. My thoughts race back to Memorial day. We as a Nation celebrate it the same as July 4th. It is not a day for celebration, it is a day for remembrance of the fallen. I sincerely hope that we get this right.
