Standing in my livingroom TV on and children getting ready for school. When I saw the smoke on the TV and had my son turn it up, this was just before the first tower fell. I couldn't believe my eyes. My heart sank, and I knew I was watching hundreds if not thousands die. Then the worst happened the tower fell. I cried for them all. How can someone, anyone do this to another human? Was the question that ran through my mind. To this day I have no answers to that question. Then even more tragity the second tower went down. More airliners were down more death more distruction.
Evenso, among all of this was the heros and hope and the unity of this great nation. No amount of distruction can change that mear fact. We showed this world what this country is made of. The terrorist, thought we wouldn't even respond. Where they wrong or what? We will continue to respond until they get it. We will not be scared by these acts. We will come back stronger and more determand than ever. They under estimated us and our resolve. What a mistake!
My heart and hope goes out to the families for the ones lost. Know that there deaths are not going to be without cost. God takes care of all things, in his time and way.
