9/11...Then and Now

As we remember the events of 9/11/2001, we contemplate the pain, devastation, loss and anger of terrorist attacks on US soil.  As a nation, we united and recked with the forces of evil.  President George Bush, stated ten years ago,

 "Today our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And America responded with the best of America."


Yesterday, as a nation, we remembered the tragic events.  This act of terrorism changed life as we knew it.  We have been at war since.  I have 2 sons-in-law that have fought in Afghanistan.  One is still deployed.  He was involved in a bombing yesterday. Clint sustained injuries from the explosion. He, along with 77 other US soldiers were sent to Germany to receive treatment for their injuries.  This rocked our family.  The war got very personal for us this weekend.

Tiffany got word last night that Clint was ok.  He is waiting to be evaluated.  Thankful that prayers are answered.

May we never forget the events of 9/11 and how it continues to effect us today.  May God continue to bless our military men and women and their families as the serve with honor.
