What shocking hurts we faced as we watched in horrid disbelief the towers fall, the pentagon explode and a plane of heroes crash to save a nation.
As with any major event in the annals of time we remember exactly where we were, what we were doing and the ticking of the clock as it forever imprinted the history that unfolded before our very eyes.
Our hearts go out to those countless brave and courageous warriors who stormed the towers knowing they faced their doom to save the lives of victims of terrorism; those fearless passengers who willingly overtook their captors to prevent others from being murdered; families that will never again be the same because of the senseless acts of cowardly terrorists who preyed upon the unsuspecting.
This great nation is made up of the best and brightest because of the freedoms we possess. Those freedoms come at a heavy price; our stalwart military who guard us and give us the security we so often take for granted. Let us not forget our policemen, firemen, coast guard, national guardsmen and the many others who selflessly acted as one to hold the fibers of our country together when they saw the threads start to unravel.
Countless, faceless heroes who we wouldn’t recognize passing on the street but who would lay down their very lives to save us from harm; these are the people who we praise and thank God for each and every day.
Remember 9-11 lest we forget that we are Americans, we are free and we are one nation under God!
Proudly display those stars and stripes because it is more than a mere US flag it signifies the honor and reverence we hold in our hearts for those that gave and sacrificed their all so that we might live a better life with security and freedom.
This morning was a nightmare beyond belief. Mom and Dad got a call at 4:16am from our grandparents that their house was up in flames. Seven of my fur cousins were inside and only 1 survived the smoke inhalation. The Grands lost:
1 Pom (Roxxie's brother)
2 Skipperkees
1 Lhasa Apso
1 Rottie
1 Newfoundland
Mom has been in tears most of the day and Dad has been taxing Gramps around because their car is out of commission too.
This is a very dark day for us all. I know heaven will be brighter tonight with 6 shinning new stars to light up the heavens.
God Bless you all my furry cousins!
Tinkie
PS- A special “Thank You” to all my pals and special buddies who have given me rosettes and candles. I promise I’ll get back to you as soon as I’m able. Mom is pretty shaken right now. Love you guys!!!!
