I know what it feels like to send a son in harm’s way in the Middle East to preserve our freedom. I have done that. I cannot comprehend the sorrow of giving up that son for our freedom.
In memoriam of this horrific day which has burned its way into our soul, let us be thankful for our freedom and especially for those who risk their lives each and every day on our behalf.
Please share any feelings you have as well.

It was one of those moments which you will never forget where you were or what you were doing at the moment you heard about it. I remember being up and watching the news in complete disbelief that they the first tower had been hit — when the 2nd one was. I didn’t move much from the TV that day.
I can remember dreaming of world peace back in the 60s. I’m still dreaming…..
Let us always remember and never forget. I cannot even comprehend what it would have been like to have actually been there. It gives me chills every time I think about it. Thank you Penny for allowing us a moment to reflect. My prayers go out to all who still suffer, and I am so grateful and thankful there are those who serve and protect us. Bless those who have given their lives for us. May God put a hedge of protection around us all.
Remember the Alamo. Remember 911.
Remember to say a prayer.
PS Remember Pearl Harbor, too.
I have been listening to the names read aloud on TV this morning …. almost 3000 of them. It really brings it home …. it takes a long time for that process. I feel so bad for all of the families who suffered a loss on that day. It’s hard to comprehend why anyone would want to cause something like that to happen and then be proud of it…. I guess we are all different, thank heaven. I’ll remember the innocent with love.
Time really doesn’t heal all wounds. Thank you for raising a son who was willing to fight for our freedom.
