Unforgettable Tribute to our Nation's Finest and Bravest, and the Victims of 9/11
In honor of our nation'sfinest bravest, and the victims of 9/11. The redoubtable firefighters and police officers who gave their lives to save others in light of the hideous assaults perpetrated on innocent individuals who lost their lives at the World Trade Center -- now known as ground zero, on Tuesday, September 11, 2001. The etymology of the word "redoubtable" is defined by many noble words.
Redoubtable: Widely known and honored, famous, celebrated, eminent, famed, great, notable, prominent, renowned, etc. As the eyes of the world saw your bravery and heroism as you gallantly gave your lives for others. In my opinion, it is a minor variance of word definition to lionize and honor you with the meritorious description of the above. Your stalwart demonstration of courage has placed you in the ranks of the redoubtable in light of your gallant act of altruism and heroic service to your fellowmen. Allow me to intersperse this illustrative anecdote: Julius Caesar's three-word pronouncement, Veni,Vidi, Vici ("I came, I saw, I conquered") is one of the most famous laconic statements of all time...
With all due respect, however, the command given to Moses, to return to Egypt with the proclamation "I AM THAT I AM have sent you," supersedes the above statement. You were not able to say as Julius Caesar has said, "I came, I saw, I conquered", however, you came and saw the horrific scene... and heard the cacophony of sound emanating from those towering infernos of the World Trade Center... You conquered the fear of danger with alacrity, without fear of loosing your own lives in order to save others! You came, you saw, you conquered the fear of death, by saving many others! Your unselfish meritorious act of bravery has enriched us all. UNFORGETTABLE TRIBUTE TO OUR HEROES AND THE VICTIMS OF 9/11 is a book essential for the events of the day.
