11 men posted this morning and remembered the sacrifices of so many this morning at Epicenter. Being a native New Yorker, 9/11 hit home hard for YHC when it happened. Stories of HS friends who worked there and whose lives were affected by this tragic day lasted for a long time after this day.

“The September 11th attacks the 9/11 attacks, were a series of airline hijackings and suicide attacks committed in 2001 by 19 millitants associated with the Islamic extremist group Al-Queda against targets, the deadliest terrorist attacks on American soil in US history. The attacks against NYC and DC, caused extensive death and destruction and triggered an enormous US effort to combat terrorism. Some 2,750 people were killed in NE, 184 at the Pentagon, and 40 in Pennsylvania (where one of the hijacked planes crashed after the passengers attempted to retake the plane); all 19 terrorists died. Police and fire departments in NY were especially hard-hit: hundreds had rushed to the scene of the attacks, and more than 400 police officers and firefighters were killed.

IPC Week 2

NMS

YHC was honored to Q this workout. All men gave their all this morning and remembered the people who tragically lost their lives.
In preparation for this workout, YHC came across this amazing story. Found in the ruble was a page of the Bible that was seared to a piece of steel. The Bible was turned to Matthew 5:38-39, “You have heard that it was said, ‘Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.’ But I tell you, do not resist and evil person. If anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to them the other cheek also.” Wow. Of all the pages in the Bible, Scripture that speaks of forgiveness is the one that it was turned to. It reminded YHC that we are always called to forgive regardless of what has been done to me.

Until next time,
