Do you remember how you felt that day? How defeated, how scared, how sad, how lost. That is a day that I know I will never forget. Its seems like yesterday I was sitting on the floor in Melinda's house watching the news with Melinda, Kevin, Jessica, Tiffany, Brandy in silence. There was nothing to be said. That was a day that the terriorst tried to take away what our Nation has. Our freedom! They killed so many Americans for what? I still don't get it. Its been 7 years, and every year on this day there is a certain kind of sadness. You say September 11th, and I still cringe, and I am certain others do to. Life has gone on, at least for you and I . But sadly 9/11/01 was the last day of too many lives. And I'm certain that for the people who lost loved ones on that day, in a way, it was their day too. I still have feelings about it all 7 years later, hate, anger, sadness are the ones that come to mind. I also feel pride to be an American, and thankfulness to the many men and women that are over there fighting for our Nation and our freedom. I don't think about if often, but I am so proud to be an American to be part of a nation that allows us the freedom we have. I am able to walk down the street with out fear of being shot or a bomb blowing up. I don't have to cover my face or hair as I walk down the isle of a store. I am blessed and and thankful to be an American. And I pray that God is with all of the soliders who continue to fight for us. We don't know their names, their ranks or anything else besides that they are AMERICANS, and we love them, and pray for their safety. I know the days go by fast, and time is flying, but take a moment, bow your head and praise God that you are in the land of free, and home of the brave!
God Bless America!!!!!!!!!!
