On that morning in 2001, I was just as unsuspecting as any other average American. I had no idea that Muslim terrorists would make good on their declared war on the United States and bring so many innocent people to their deaths.
Yes, it's depressing to think about. Just looking through pictures or listening to news clips causes my chest to rise and fall in the hopes that I won't cry again. And you may say, "Why put yourself through that? That's history. Move on."
Well, I don't ever want to forget what happened, and more importantly, I don't ever want to forget how I felt that day and the days that followed. Once a year, I need to relive almost every moment in a fast-forward type of newsreel that will bring all of those emotions back to me to remind me of why we fight.
God bless all those innocents who died in those horrible attacks. God bless all of those who made the ultimate sacrifice in attempting to rescue those innocents. God bless all of those troops who have died and continue to fight to make sure that terrorists do not kill on our shores again. God bless America.
