September 11 should be a time to remember all those lost to the war on terror. Starting with almost 3,000 lost in New York. This is a number that will continue to climb. "The price of freedom is eternal vigilance." and will continue to be long after we are gone. If you want to give up doing that vigilance, you will give up your freedom. It's a high cost, and one that should be remembered and practiced.
I shall never forget where I was and what I was doing that day. But more importantly I will never forget how I felt, how a country can be stopped, with everything closed. Then the days after, watching the acts of heroism come out of New York, the Pentagon, and a field in Pennsylvania, I was filled with pride for our country. We the people will not be defeated! Then the coming months of unity were awesome. No one was fighting over, or worrying about the stock market taking a dive, whether we should have national health care, or some other B.S. that people in Washington like to fight over and not get anything done. Finally the country was moving in one direction, united. It was an awe inspiring thing.
I miss those days following 9/11. How people were proud to be Americans, and how they were resolved never to let anything happen to our country. Let us, the people, pull back together and become a proud nation, one that can not be divided or destroyed from now until eternity.
Stay Safe,
Ben
