TWENTY-FIVE YEARS HAVE COME AND GONE - A September 11 Tribure · Voices Of Life

• 0:15
  Years have come and gone, but some September
• 0:18
  mornings still feel like dawn. When the sky turned
• 0:22
  dark and the whole world cried and heroes ran
• 0:25
  toward danger while we ran to hide. Through the
• 0:28
  smoke and the flames, through the dust and the
• 0:31
  tears, they carried strangers out and carried
• 0:33
  memories through the years. And the names we
• 0:37
  speak still echo in the air. For every life that
• 0:40
  was lost, we remember we care. The lives that
• 0:48
  we lost and the lives they left. From the towers
• 0:52
  to the Pentagon. To a Pennsylvania field where
• 0:56
  heroes carried on. Firefighters, police, and
• 1:00
  the brave EMS. Soldiers who answered America's
• 1:04
  call to defend. Families who carried the weight
• 1:08
  of those years. 25 years and we still remember.
• 1:18
  Mothers who waited, fathers who prayed, children
• 1:21
  who wondered why their daddy never came home
• 1:24
  that day. There were husbands and wives who learned
• 1:27
  to be strong, carrying an empty chair as the
• 1:30
  years moved along. In New York City, stood beneath
• 1:34
  a cloud of gray, but somehow found the strength
• 1:37
  to face another day. A city wounded, but refusing
• 1:42
  to fall. One heartbeat, one nation, standing
• 1:45
  together through it all. We'll be right back.
• 2:44
  We'll be right back. But courage answered when
• 3:06
  terror came by. Let's roll became more than words
• 3:10
  that day. It became a promise that freedom would
• 3:16
  stay. Then came the challenges beneath foreign
• 3:21
  skies where young men and women answered America's
• 3:25
  cries across Afghanistan, Iraq and lands far
• 3:29
  away. They carried the burden that. That day
• 3:33
  some came home wounded, some never returned.
• 3:37
  Their families carried the sorrow. Their brothers
• 3:40
  remembered from firefighters, helmets to soldiers,
• 3:44
  stars. Freedom was defended by heroes near and
• 3:48
  far. 25 years, but we won't forget the lives
• 3:54
  they gave and the lives they left from the towers
• 3:58
  to the Pentagon. a Pennsylvania field where heroes
• 4:02
  carried on firefighters police and the brave
• 4:06
  EMS soldiers who answered America's call to defend
• 4:11
  families who carried the weight of those years
• 4:15
  25 years and we still remember here so ring the
• 4:23
  bells for the fallen tonight let the flags fly
• 4:27
  high in the morning light forever For every hero
• 4:31
  who answered the call For every family who gave
• 4:36
  their all We may move forward but never away
• 4:40
  From the memory of that September day 25 years
• 4:48
  and America still stands With freedom and courage
• 5:11
  We honor your sacrifice After 25 years 25 years
• 5:21
  And we still remember 25 years And the light
• 5:30
