The further away our country gets away from 9/11 the less I recognize it.
The Port Authority, the agency that owns the building at Ground Zero, said Thursday that the signature skyscraper replacing the Twin Towers destroyed on Sept. 11, 2001, will be more commonly known as One World Trade Center.
The reason for the name swapping? One World Trade Center is more marketable, said Steve Sigmund, a spokesman for the Port Authority.
The 102-story building, under construction at the 16-acre site, was named the Freedom Tower in the first Ground Zero master plan. At the time, officials said the tallest, most symbolic of five planned towers at the site would demonstrate the nation's triumph over terrorism.
This week the "war on terror" was changed to some PC term. So now marketing is more important than 3,000 people who died? What is going on with America/Americans? When did we stop caring? Our country is in the proverbial hand basket.
What happened to the nation that flew their American flags? Who stopped to help one another? Who cared if we had troops in other countries fighting the war so we could remain free, and safe? Where are those people!?
More and more I am literally afraid for our country, people and future. If you also are feeling this way I encourage you to check out:The 912 Project. Join if you want, but at least read some of the things other people are doing, and saying.
May G-d help us, and good Shabbos.
