I was going to post a tribute video from 9/11. I wasn't aware it would still be so difficult to watch the video of this after six years. It brings every thing back from that day like it just happened this morning. I didn't know anyone personally that perished in that tragedy, but I feel like I did. I can't imagine how the people who lost loved ones or people who survived that were there that day are feeling if I'm feeling so sad on this day. I'm not the best with words, so bear with me.
I was home this day six years ago in tears just like I am now, praying. I lived by the airport in 2001 where I would hear planes about every 5 minutes taking off. It was eerie that day. No planes just silence. Then military planes and helicopters. It's still surreal to me today as I sat and watched a few videos of the tragedy, the planes flying into the towers and then the image of them collapsing were too much to watch.
I realize that on a daily basis we don't think about this tragedy, at least I don't, but it's there in our minds and when I watched footage of that day it felt like it was happening all over again.
I pray for our troops fighting to keep our freedom. I pray for all the families that have lost loved ones. I pray for everyone permanently injured from this tragic day. I pray for all the heroes that died and the ones that survived who helped save so many. I pray for the heroes from flight 93 who diverted that plane to lessen any further tragedy. May we never forget the tragedy at the Pentagon on that day either.
I pray to God that we never, ever have to go through anything like that in our lifetime, our children's lifetime, our children's children's lifetime again.
We Will Never Forget!
