In Memory

I think each and every one of us Americans will always remember exactly where we were or what we were doing when we found out about the terrorist attack on our nation on September 11, 2001. I was in my senior year of high school and my Mom woke me up to tell me what had happened. It turns out I wasn't feeling well that day anyways so I stayed home from school. I remember I was glued to the tv the whole day. I don't think my eyes left the screen. I just couldn't believe what was happening to us. I think I cried more that day than I have ever cried before. I was so scared for our nation. I think we all were. I had always felt pretty safe and secure and had never given much thought to anything like that happening..does anyone though? Nobody wants to think about those kind of things. But then something like that happens and it forever changes a nation. I gained even more of a sense of pride for our great country. I was always proud to be an American, but seeing how we all pulled together made me even more proud than I had been.

I just want to take this time to remember all of those we lost on that horrific day and all of the troops we have lost fighting for our great nation. Not just in this war, but each war in the past as well. I also want to pray for all of our troops over there now in harms way. May our great Lord keep you safe each and every day. Thank you for your sacrifices.
