Today is the 9th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on US soil. May we remember that date and those who died and were impacted by the tragedy. I found a website with much information called 9/11 Memorial.
My own cousin Mark worked at an adjacent building and was one of those seen running as the towers collapsed all covered in white. He described how scary it was, not knowing what would happen next.
I've been to see the site twice since 2001 and each time it was so eerie.
This past weekend as I traveled to my niece's wedding, I noticed many young men and women in uniform. I walked up to one young soldier and thanked him for his service. He told me they were heading to Afghanistan. My heart ached for them as they had to leave loved ones behind. But how grateful I am for their service to our country.

I was just watching old footage last night and my heart ached just as strong as it did that day.
ReplyDeleteAnd I wonder if Lee Greenwood realized how popular that song was to become back when he sang it.
Love you my friend!
Kim

ReplyDeletePraying that many will not stray farther away from Him...Blessings to you sister and may the Lord keep your friend's son and all those serving in the military safe...Same with their families.
Beautiful tribute. I feel like sometimes we take our military and freedom for granted. But as you did we should thank them for fighting for us.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful post thanks for sharing. I want to also send thanks to your friends son we owe these young men a debt of gratitude
ReplyDeleteBeautiful post. Everytime I hear that song, I cry. I remember after the attacks, the local radio stations played that song all the time. I don't seem to hear it as much.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful post... so much to always remember and appreciate the tireless efforts of those serving after those tragic events.
ReplyDeleteGod bless all those in service-firefighter, medical, police, military...
Blessings & Aloha!
May we never forget sis.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your tribute. September 11 is a day that not many of us will forget. It is imbedded in our hearts and minds forever. God bless the men and women who are working to defend freedom both on American soil and abroad.
