Today is the 11th anniversary of the September 11th terror attacks. This morning, KSSK had broadcasted a song that really captured the emotions and the moment of 9/11. The song was titled Hero by Nickelback. I've heard that song before but while listening to it in that particular context definitely moved me, I actually started tearing up. The lyrics in the chorus, "and they say that a hero can save us.Im not gonna stand here and wait" and that's exactly what the emergency crew of NY did and what the passengers of Flight 77 and 93 did. They immediately jumped in to save whoever they could. I applaud them for their courage. It took real guts to do what they did, knowing the risk they were taking. When walking to my class at LB today, the HPD and, what looked like, the Navy saluting the flags of which were at half staff. I could hear the trumpets sounding the Taps from across the street. I was already late for class but I wanted to at least pay my respects to the day.
I can only hope that the day will soon come where this war will end and we're no longer needed in the Middle East.
I thinks it's interesting how people write songs to express themselves, but when a particular or major event occurs, certain songs can bring about so many emotions and affect so many people
