9/II Dare to Remember

For some reason I couldn't sleep in this morning, so I decided to get up, do the morning routine and try to find a movie on TV to watch as I walk. Did I forget what this day was? No, I had already gone to the Lord in prayer for all those that have lost someone that day so long ago and the military that serve 24/7. As I turned on the TV it was on Fox News, hours later it is still on Fox News. The day of remembrance is so strong, tears streaming down my face as I walked continuing to pray for those that have suffered and given so much of themselves and their families for these 7 years. Moments ago, they showed President Bush and oh how he has aged over the 2 terms of his service to our country. Each president ages with the stress of the duties of office. No matter what you think of the job President Bush and others in office have done, you can be sure they fought hard to make sure we did not have another terrorist attack on our soil and continue to fight daily. The Day America Changed is the theme this year for the day of terror. I believe we did change, if only for a moment. Seven years ago there were flags everywhere you couldn't find flags at stores due to being sold out. We all banned together with a strong "God Bless America" and prayer as we sent our military to faraway places to stand up against these horrible terrorists. We still chant God bless America but we forget why we are staying the course with our military men and women fighting abroad all through the year until 9/11 comes around and we are so vividly reminded. We are reminded then that it's to remain "the land of the free and the home of the brave". Our service men and women along with the local police and firefighters deserve more honor and respect from us than they get. It's very important to remember they take many risks to make sure we are safe. 9/11 goes far beyond just one day of remembrance and we should do our best to remember every day of the year. As we go through our lives day in and day out make a difference in someone else’s life, tell service men & women, police, firefighters and anyone that risk their lives for us "thank you" for the job they do and how they make a difference in our lives.

God bless...
