Today is September 11th. We are in Washington D.C., the city of democracy. The city that stands for all that this country was built upon and all that we believe in. We have spent the last three days immersed in the history of the struggles our forefathers experienced in order to bring this country to what it is today. A country where we have the freedom to say what we think and act as we will. Nine years ago today that freedom was threatened and over 3,000 people lost their lives. It did not break us and we did not fall. We came out stronger and more resolved than ever.
We spent today quietly, thinking of those who lost their lives on that tragic day, nine years ago. Our thoughts and prayers were also with those Americans who are risking their lives every day, fighting for the freedom that we must never take for granted. Our son-in-law will be deployed to Iraq at the end of this month and our prayers are with him. Please keep him and all of our troops in your prayers as well.
God bless America.
What an incredible time to be in Washington. Sounds like you guys have seen a lot of sights in the capitol city.
ReplyDeletePerfect time for reflection....yes, we are so blessed to live in America!
Our thoughts and prayers will be with Trevor as well as all the other men and women who continue to fight for our freedom.
God bless America.
Enjoy your journey up towards the "fall colors" : )
Loved all you said about your visit to DC during the anniversary of 9/11. Please say thank you to your son-in-law for his service to our country.
