September 11, 2001 is a day I'm sure none of us will ever forget. I'm also sure you all could tell me exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard about it for the first time. I'm sure you can recall the feelings you had of sorrow, pain and confusion. I was walking up the stairs from the family room to the kitchen on my way to get some breakfast before school when my mom turned the TV on just as the second plane hit. I can still remember the shock of my family as well as the news reporters and the words they said as it turned into the tower. We can remember all the heroes of that day, all the flags, and memorials everywhere. I can't believe that 8 years ago today some hijackers did something that I'm sure thought would tear our country apart! However, it did the complete opposite. There were many many lives lost and many families torn apart be we all came together. I don't think I can think of a time ever where us as Americans were more unified than during those difficult months that followed that horrific day.
September 11th will be with all of us forever and it's up to us to decide what to do with those memories we have. When we look back on that day, despite everything going on with the economy and the government issues, we remember how truly blessed we are to be living where we are - The Land of the Free. That we think about those men and women who have sacrificed since the beginning and those who continue to do so daily so that we can enjoy the privileges we have from living in America. That we also think of their families and the sacrifices they are making as well. That we also think about those firemen and police officers who risk their lives as well trying to keep us safe. I hope we think about all the other blessings we have and continue to receive everyday - our families and friends, today, our safety, the jobs we have. Always remember, Always be grateful. ~GOD BLESS AMERICA~
