"The Beams that secured the World" Chicago,IL had the honor to receive a few beams from the World Trade Center, That was attacked over ten years ago. The beams are a reminder of what this country stands for in the time of need. Honor,Courage, and Commitment is coined after the United States Navy, and this is near and dear to me because when the World Trade Center was attacked in 2001, My ship the USS Theodore Roosevelt CVN-71,where I spent eleven years of my life stationed in Norfolk.Va had the chance to go out and fight for freedom and democracy around the world. The USS Theodore Roosevelt,along with it's battle group, was the first ship to spring into action and start the first fight on the war against terrorism. The day that we were attacked, a part of our lives were also taken away with the lives that were lost. Over 3,000 lives are gone and in the hearts of millions they will never be forgotten. So these beams that will be constructed throughout our great city,will be a reminder of the strong foundation we all hold near and dear in each of our lives as well as the lost lives of every other soilder and civilian who has lost their lives for this great country. |
