TODAY is September 11, 2012. 11 years ago, our lives were changed forever. It was one of those days where people vividly remember where they were and what they were doing when they got the news. I was at home that morning watching TV, Lois & Clark actually. The phone rang and it was my uncle telling mom to turn on channel 3, a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I can still tell yo
u the exact episode and the moment in the episode that was on when the TV changed to the horrific image of the towers with smoke billowing. I couldn’t even imagine what was to follow. None of us could.
TODAY, we honor the heroes. The first responders who ran into disaster, never stopping to think what may happen to them. The passengers aboard flight 93, who fought with their last breathes to see that their plane did not reach it’s intended target. All those who died that day, in New York, Washington DC, and Pennsylvania, and to the families they left behind. The brave men and women who put it all on the line everyday to keep us safe, and to their families at home as well. Thank you all.
TODAY, take the time to let your friends and family know that you love them. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Also, take the time to thank the heroes that are in your community everyday. Those in the military, both home and away, ready to do what is asked of them, and much more. Also, the first responders, who are ready to respond to the call, not always sure exactly what they are headed for. If you see a man or woman in uniform today, say thank you. It is something they are not told enough.
TODAY, and everyday, I am proud to be an American.
