Ridley's Believe It Or Not—September 11, 2014: Trust

what transpired on this day 13 years ago and that you enjoy the factoids and
quote from John Kerry with a smile on your sunscreened face, a positive
attitude, secure in the knowledge that
if you want to find a gift for a memorable event, you know that the Alaskanpoet
can provide you with a unique customized poem tailored to the event and the
recipient.
I have posted on my blog a poem on
that day and Mike Kehoe’s bravery.
1. Patriot Day—honoring the almost 3,000 men, women and children
who lost their lives on this day in 2001 when jihadists hijacked four jetliners
and then crashed two of them into the World Trade Center, one into the
Pentagon, and the final one following a revolt of the hijacked passengers into
the Pennsylvania countryside before it could reach and attack the White House.
Sad day, very sad indeed.
2. National Emergency Responders Day—honoring
the sacrifices of first responders like police and firemen who put their lives
on the line to protect their fellow citizens—on 911 414 deaths of first
responders occurred.
On this day in
|
a. 1789 Alexander Hamilton was appointed as the first Secretary of the
Treasury.
b. 1813 British troops arrived at Mt. Vernon and prepared to invade and burn
Washington, D.C.
c. 1857 in a blow against
religious tolerance which in the jihadist world with the like of ISIS cannot be
found, the Mormon Militia massacred 120 emigrants en route to California at
Mountain Meadows, Utah, sparing only 17 children all of whom were under the
age of seven.
d. 1893 the Parliament of the
World’s Religions opened in Chicago where Swami Vivekananda delivered his speech
on fanaticism, tolerance and the truth inherent in all religions, a speech
which the jihadists of the world ought to take time to read before slaughtering
Christians.
