As I look back on the events of September 11, 2001. I am reminded of how precious our freedom really is. We should never take our freedom for granted. Freedom was dealt a severe blow on 9/11, but as the events unfolded, and I witnessed the calming strength, and resolve of our President. I was then and even more so today very proud to be an American. This indeed was a terrible event, but we as a nation have proven to be steadfast and dedicated to the principles of Freedom. That freedom was born in the late 1700's. I think the founding fathers would be proud of the way our leaders have handled this infamous attack.
We as a people may bend,........but we will not break. This is and always will be, "The Greatest Country on This Earth".
I will always and forever be proud to say: "I am an American".
God Bless the USA.
