9/11

So today is the ninth anniversary of the day terrorist took over planes and crashed them into the world trade center towers, the pentagon, and a field in Virgina. Over 3,000 lives were lost and many of them were firefighters and police officers. Today is a day of remembrance, of grief, and of America pulling together. We are the land of the free and the home of the brave. Where most countries would fall to ruins after a disaster like that, we pulled together and went out to fight the threat. So today, just take even a few minutes to remember those brave lives that were lost and the love that was felt. Remember the fathers, sons, and husbands, the brothers, sisters, moms, and daughters. Remember the aunts, uncles, cousins, nephews and nieces that died that day. Feel the pain of the widows and widowers, all the children who lost a parent, and remember that we are Americans. Stand strong, and feel your pride. Over the history of our great nations, think of all the brave men and women who fought for your freedom, who lost their lives, and the lives of their families. All for what? For you. So that your family could live and enjoy the freedom they do. So that you may worship, love and live the way you like. Remember and Know what is it to be an American.
