Lest We Forget.

We the People.

Citizens of the United States of America and Citizens of the World remember the day the earth stood still.

September 11th 2001, in a great tragedy that was mourned over the entire world.

From this day forward we knew we had been violated. We could no longer feel safe in our homes, we could no longer feel safe while we attended work or school.

On this day the American people faced their greatest challenge, and they stoop up and said enough.

Remember the people who died this day.

Remember the actions of the New York Emergency services.

Remember Americans around the world uniting against a common enemy.

Remember the great leaders of the bush administration who provided the opportunity to stand up to terrorism.

Remember the men and women of the armed forces who took the fight to the terrorists in an attempt to protect our freedoms.

On behalf of New Zealand I would like to extend a memorial to the fallen, and in particular would like to remember the only Kiwi to die that fateful day.

Rest in Peace Alan Beaven.

48 years old

Old boy of Westlake Boys High School and Auckland University.

Passenger of United Airlines Flight 93.

One of the passengers that fought the terrorists in the plane and prevented it reaching it's target and taking more lives.

Lest We Forget.
