9-11-01 ~ 9-11-11
Please excuse my departure from my usual light hearted rambling... but this is weighing heavy on my heart and mind for several reasons.... please bear with me as I know that you may not agree but that is the beauty of family, friends and Our country.... Thank you for letting me express myself here... D
With the 10th anniversary of 9-11 looming over the nation... I find it also lurking in my mind. That was a difficult and most painful day that resulted in a complete change in life from what we were accustomed to as a Nation. Suddenly there were security guards and protocols where there hadn't been, there was a feeling of fear mixed with a lot of anger... granted it was righteous anger... anger from being blind sided by a boogeyman we previously didn't truly believe in... not in the way the others... already victimized by him believed... but suddenly Our eyes were open..We felt...We bled... and We believed... and We struck back.. because bullies don't respect you if you don't and they will continue to attack and assult you until some hero comes to your rescue... We have as a Nation become the hero that backs up the little guy and runs off the bullies and monsters of the world... it's a big and often thankless task, but I'm not sorry that it's ours or that we claimed it. There are many detracters who feel that there are too many things wrong in our country to be worried about the rest of the world... and there are... but at the end of the day... our country still is by far the best.. faults and all... and since everyone needs a hero some time... even us... and since we've got the guts to protect them.. when no one else does... GOD BLESS THE USA~
