Seven years ago our country was attacked. We remember that day and we truly will never forget. One quote that stands out is the one from George W. Bush, " Terrorism against our nation will not stand". We are so grateful for our freedom and for the opportunities our nation provides! We are thankful for our troops who have the courage and are so brave to fight for our freedom.
We remember 9/11 vividly. We were scheduled to fly from Chicago, IL to Los Angeles, CA that afternoon. We had planned to visit the Sears Tower that morning. We were awakened by David telling us to turn the television on. He had gone done the street for a morning newspaper and saw the first tower on fire and then tumble down. We saw when the second plane hit the tower and when that tower tumbled down. Every year on 9/11 we are reminded of just how precious life is. We need to remember this daily. Live your life like it was your last day everyday.
Below is a list of all those individuals who lost their lives on 9/11 in The Twin Towers and AA Flight 11 & AA Flight 175, The Pentagon & United Flight 77, and United Flight 93 in PA. Some of these heros never got to meet their unborn sons and/or daughters. Some never said goodbye. They never came home. This is one of the most heart wrenching days for so many families. So many innocent children and people who never had the chance to grow up with their Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, Brothers, Aunts, Uncles, Grandparents or simply a friend!
In Memoriam to all the people that were hurt or killed in this terrible, barbaric attack. The Twin Towers Memorial Lights UP!
It was "blue" day at Ryley's school. So to remember those who parrished we sent her in RED, WHITE, AND BLUE! Proud to be an AMERICAN!

Thank you for posting this! I saw more commemorations of 9/11 on blogs then I did on the news! I'm glad people haven't forgotten even if in this election year the media wants us to forget.
