Well technically in five hours it will be ten years.
Ten years ago our world of invincibility was rocked as the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center. Not since the American Civil War has there been such bloodshed on U.S. soil.
" Where were you when the world stopped turning on that September day? Were you in the yard with your wife and children Or working on some stage in L.A.? Did you stand there in shock at the sight of that black smoke Risin' against that blue sky? Did you shout out in anger, in fear for your neighbor Or did you just sit down and cry?"
Can you remember where you were? I can. I actually volunteered to go with my youth group to help dig through the rubble to find victims but we were told to stay home. To many people had already volunteered I guess.
Many peoples lives have changed since that day. Men & women everywhere have joined the military to fight terrorism here & abroad, joined their local PD, FD, as well as the Medical Industry, just to help save others lives.
And while the sense of loyalty & pride for our country has fallen in the years since, I must say I am still very proud of the people I consider hero's. What about you? Are you proud? Or do you not care anymore? I'm not asking about the over publicized, cheap, tasteless, cashing in on a tragedy 9/11. I'm asking are you proud of us as a country, for where we've come since then? I sure hope so. Don't let the insensitive, money hungry grubs ruin what should be a memorable day for us all.
