The moments in time where something so horrific happens we
all remember exactly where we were and what we were doing during the moment.
On
June 28, 1914, Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, heir presumptive to the
Austro-Hungarian throne, and his wife, Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg, were shot
dead in Sarajevo, by Gavrilo Princip.
This single horrific act catipulted the world into a World War I. The war to end all wars. No one could have guessed that within 23
years World War II would begin when Hitler revealed his war plans during the
Hossbach Conference.
Again November 22, 1963, around 12:30 in Dallas, Texas, when
President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, again such a horrific act that
people remembered for the rest of their lives what they were doing and where
they were at when they heard that Kennedy was shot. Covered in a shroud of conspiracy since the
day it happened the direction of the country, and the power base of the leading
country of the free world was forever taken on a darker and different course.
More
recently, September 11, 2001, four passenger jets were hi-jacked. Two of the planes were intentionally piloted
into the North and South Towers of the Twin Towers, and both towers collapsed
within two hours.
A third plane was piloted into the Pentagon. The fourth was supposed to be flown into the
Capital Building, but was brought down by the passengers and crew to crash in a
field in Pennsylvania. This was another
situation were everybody will remember where and what they were doing when they
heard about the attack. The aftermath of
the attack was the War on Terror, again changing the course of history.
These monumental pivotal moments that radically change the
course of future events in so many countless ways. The important part is that we never
forget. That we learn from our mistakes,
our victories, and not let those whose lost their lives needlessly, as heroes
trying to help and save others, that we never forget so they will never be forgotten.
