We as a nation have spent the previous year grieving over the events of September 11.
There are still so many unanswered questions. We are left with the basic understanding
that we will never know why exactly this has happened to us. Together we have survived,
together we will move on however never forgetting what has frozen our minds and
scarred our hearts.
I knew from the moment I walked outside that God was with me, with us. I felt the cool
breeze hit my facing sweeping my hair up and off my neck. I felt a slight relief come
over me. It has been so long since the wind has been this gentle and yet so strong. The
assembly in the stadium was remarkalble. America's flag flying proud in the air, the
reassuring words of President Bush, and the steady beating of the snare drum; made last
years tragedy so real.
It felt good to cry tears of rememberance this morning. I feel so honored that our
country has such brave men and women, who put their lives at risk to save others. I am
proud that I have such people surrounding me everyday.
