There are days in our lives that we will never forget. The birth of our children. The death of a loved one. And for those that were alive, 9-11.

I remember walking into work that morning and the women in the office were huddled around the computer crying. And the moments later, the 2nd plane hit the World Trade Towers.
Our nation was forever changed that day.   We wept for those that died. We wept for those that lost loved ones. We wept for we knew that we were going to war.

Today, as my children play, I am grateful for those soldiers that have fought and continued to have fought for our freedom.  Today, I will hold them and say a little prayer, especially for the children whose parents were taken from them so very early on in their lives.

9-11 forever changed this country, but it did not define this country, it only made it stronger.
