I have always considered myself patriotic, my home is full of americana items. I love the flag; however, not as much as I do now. I truly do not take for granted what the American Flag stands for or represents for America. I have never been more proud to be an American than I am now. I am very sad for those families who lost a loved one. I could not even begin to understand the lose they must feel. My prayers are with those families and wish them God's love. He will be with them always. I will never understand how anyone so evil and so much hate could take the lives of so many for what they believe to be for God. I am sure my God would not orchestrate such a thing. He represents love to all of us. I WILL NEVER FORGET. I donated money to the families as well as thru my work, GE. I am very proud of GE for the things they have done. They matched every dollar that was donated. I certainly hope the families will see that money. Especially the ones with small children, for their college. Since most of them no longer have fathers or mother or even orphaned. I wish I could have done more; however, all I can do is pray for them and hope they all know how much they all mean to us. Their loved ones did not die in vain. We as a nation need to continue to stand as one and stay united. United States has never ment so much. I hope my children never have to go thru anything as this in their life time. God bless all the families and all those who lost their lives on 9/11/01.
