9 Years Ago

I was at home sick, so I hadn't woken up early for school.  My friend Megan called me and told me the news and asked if my dad was home.  My dad was an airline pilot for American Airlines.  Fortunately my mom was able to get ahold of him and he was okay.  I remember the pride of our country at that time - we all came together.  People put the American flag in front of their yard, flew flags from their trucks, and had writing on their car windows in remembrance.  Continue to hold that pride.  
I pray for those families who lost loved ones and for the troops fighting for our country.  Take a moment today to remember those whose lives were lost and to thank those who are fighting.
