Remembering 9-11

It was one of those defining moments that forever changes the way you view the world. Not since Pearl Harbor had we been attacked on our home soil, and the magnitude of the loss is still hard to believe after all these years. We'll never forget the way we felt that day; the shock and disbelief that something like this could happen here, in our beloved United States; the horror as we watched it happen right before our eyes; the fear as we wondered what might happen next; the unbelievable sadness as we pondered the lives lost and families devastated. There was, and still is, pride and admiration for all the heroes, who did what heroes do - they unselfishly did whatever needed to be done, many sacrificing their own lives to try and save others. To all the heroes - past, present, and future - who are fighting the good fight, and to their loved ones - I say thank you, and God bless you.
