On September 11, 2001, I got up at 5:30 am, as usual, started the coffee, ran back into the bedroom to wash my face and then headed back to the kitchen to get a bowl of cereal. What happened after that is something I will never forget.
I turned on the TV and the world literally, stopped turning.
I remember everything that happened that day very vividly. It was our youngest son's 11th birthday, which was my first concern. I worried that he would somehow think it was his fault. I tried to make his birthday as special as possible and gave him his biggest gift that morning before I explained that there was some really bad news that I had to explain to them and that it was in no way, his fault.
It was a difficult day for every American. But as a military wife, I decided to make it as normal a day as possible because I thought that it was the best thing to do for my kids and when I think about it now, I know I did the right thing.
We celebrated our sons birthday a bit differently than we had first planned, but it was salvaged pretty well.
As we reflect and remember what happened 14 year ago today, please remember the families who lost a loved one on those planes, in those buildings in New York, at the Pentagon, and in a lowly field in Pennsylvania, where hero's took matter's into their own hands, even though they knew it might mean their own deaths, in order to save the Capital or the White House in D.C.
Pause, reflect but especially pray. In recent weeks, we've seen a number of law enforcement officers gunned down simply because they wear a uniform. All of our military men and women who proudly wear the uniform that represents this great country have targets on their backs as does every first responder in this country, firemen, EMT's, community service officers, etc.
Please pray for all of them to be kept safe today. Pray for our country, that we would remember from where we came, and turn our hearts, minds and souls back towards God because He is the only one who can save America now. We're watching it all slip away, and we're all pretty ticked off about it, but the best thing we can do is to get on our knees and pray for those in uniform, that there isn't another terrorist attack on our country and that our markets don't crash!
God Bless this great nation and all of our men and women in uniform, whether they serve in our country's military, here and abroad, or serve our communities here at home as law enforcement officers, firefighters or emergency medical personnel because anyone who wears a uniform in this country, seems to have a target on their back!
As a country, in unison, we need to get back to our roots, or we will be gone! The greatest super power in the world could be completely destroyed, and I'm not the only one who doesn't want to see that flame extinguished.
We need to fight because we are AMERICANS! And AMERICAN'S FIGHT TO WIN! EVEN IF WE HAVE TO DO IT FROM ON OUR KNEES! WE CAN FIGHT TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK FROM THE DESPOTS WHO ARE NOW RUNNING IT INTO THE GROUND! I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT WE CAN GET IT DONE!
May we NEVER FORGET the great tragedy of September 11, 2001!
God grant you all peace and safety this day, and may He once again, bless the United States of America.
