We Remember. We Pray. 🙏🏼❤️🇺🇸

On September 10, 2001, 25 years ago…

🇺🇸 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights.
🇺🇸 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work the next morning.
🇺🇸 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their morning shift.
🇺🇸 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for morning patrol.
🇺🇸 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for a morning shift of saving lives.

None of them saw past 10:00 a.m. on September 11, 2001.

In one single moment, life may never be the same.

Tonight, as you go to sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted.

And tonight, pray. 🙏🏼

Pray for the families who still carry the loss.
Pray for our first responders and those who protect us.
Pray for our leaders.
Pray for protection over our nation, our cities, our families, and those who stand watch.

Pray that America would turn back to God, that hearts would be softened, and that we would never forget how desperately we need Him.

We pray in the name of Jesus, Lord protect us. Give wisdom to our leaders, strengthen those who serve, comfort those who grieve, and draw hearts back to You.

We remember. We pray. We will never forget. 🇺🇸🙏🏼

Our word for September is Courtesy. Courtesy is more than simply saying “please” and “thank you.” It means treating everyone with kindness and respect through our words and actions. At Vigilance Martial Arts, students show courtesy by listening when others speak, using kind words, taking turns, helping their classmates, and bowing respectfully to instructors and training partners. Showing courtesy helps create a positive environment where everyone feels welcomed, respected, and ready to learn. Remember: respect begins with you. Be polite to everyone, both inside and outside the dojang!
