9-11


They always say you always remember where you were when tragic things happen either in your life or in this case the life of our nation. I will never forget the sick feeling I had that day in the pit of my stomach as I watched the news and was wondering what in the world was going on. All I could think of is the Innocent people killed and the families that were effected by it. Even tho I didn't know anyone personally that was killed, I still felt the loss that I'm sure everyone did.

We should Thank God each day that we are alive and have our families, because tomorrow they could be gone.

Let us never forget the brave fireman and woman that risked there lives to help strangers, because it was there job.
Let us also not forget the brave men and women who are fighting for freedom overseas,
i received a text about the soldiers and it reads something like this...... You stay up for 16 hours. he stays up for days on end. You take a warm shower to help you wake up. He goes weeks without running water. You complain of a "headache" and call in sick. He gets shot at as others are hit, and keeps moving forward. You talk trash about your buddies that aren't with you. He knows he may never see any of his ever again. You complain about how hot it is. He wears his heavy gear, not daring to take off his helmet to wipe his forehead. You get mad at the waiter for getting your order wrong. He doesn't get to eat today. Your mad that your class got held over 5 minutes over. He's told he will be held over an extra 2 months. You roll your eyes when your baby cries. He gets a letter with a picture of his new baby, and wonders if they'll ever meet. Lets support our troops they do so much for us.
