My senior high school trip was to Time Square in NY, while there I was able to enjoy the big city and see the beautiful skyline of the tall buildings across the Hudson river. I took a picture of it. On September 11, 2001 the skyline changed. I was helping some family friends pack up their house. The man of the house happened to be in the military and was supposed to be working in the Pentagon that day. We walked in the kitchen and heard the news on the radio. I remember him turning to me and saying "I should've been there today" the Lord was definitely watching over him that day. I truly am proud to be an American and can only think of sadness when I remember all those that lost their lives that day. We celebrate the 4th of July with BBQ's and fireworks along with many other patriotic days and one day 9-11 will probably be the same way. I do know that I will never forget how I felt that day and how greatful I am for the men that fight for our freedom!!!!
I know the 10 year anniversary is coming up, and I hope you will share your thoughts/stories.
