9-11


I know exactly what I was doing that day......Do you? I was turning on a TV show for our oldest son to watch while I cleaned up a bit and I saw the footage from the 1st plane going into the twin towers. I thought, at that time, that is was an accident so I turned the show on for Josh. A few minutes later, my sister called me and told me we were being attacked so I flipped the channel back and saw the 2nd plane hit the other twin tower. I was paralyzed and terrified. I was afraid for myself, our two boys and my hubby. I wanted my hubby to leave work and come home to be with us. I remember being afraid to turn the tv off but was afraid to keep watching. And I kept watching for days, weeks. I felt so safe to hear President Bush that night. I knew we would respond with war and I was grateful for that. Made me feel better about our future. Its been 10yrs and we should NEVER forget! We are......."one nation under GOD"












I am so thankful for out military and the sacrifices, that I know all too well, that they and their families make! They are the reason that our country is safe!!
