Remembering 9/11/01
Friday, September 11th, 2009
I was newly married a month, eating cereal in our hotel room in Rhode Island. I don’t usually watch the news but I was flipping through the channels when all the same coverage was coming up. I was thinking “What’s going on?” I watched as a news reporter was talking about how a plane hit one of the twin towers and then the news station flashed to footage of the the first plane. And as the reporter continued to report I saw another plane flying in the background towards the second tower and thought ” Oh my gosh! What is happening? That plane is awful close!” and then it hit the second tower, shocking the reporter and making them run for cover. I remember gasping in horror and thinking ” WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING?? IS THIS FOR REAL?!” And so began my day on September 11,2001. I still can’t watch the memorial video we bought of that day. I watched it once and the footage was so horrible and tragic that I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to watch it again. So, today I’m thinking of the families who lost loved ones that day. I’m thinking of the heroes who gave their lives to save others. And I’m thanking God that it wasn’t me. I’m praying that God will protect our country and keep us safe. That we’ll always be the land of the free even when our government seems to want to take that away from us. I’m still proud to be an American no matter what certain First Ladies say.
I will never forget…..
WE should never forget
God bless America
