Never Forget

Since Courtney and I started dating, we have always kept the attacks of 9/11 close to our hearts. We didn't know any one in the buildings or the planes, but we have always reflected on that day. Leading up to each anniversary of 9/11, we watch many of the documentaries on t.v. and talk about what we were doing that day. Even though it has been 10 years, it's still very difficult for the both of us to watch those planes hit the towers, the Pentagon, and see the crash site in Pennsylvania. But we know it's a part of history and now know that while McKaila grows up she will hear our stories of what happened that day as she'll be reading it in her text books.

Today we wanted to show our respects to those lost in the Pentagon.We didn't get to go to the memorial, but we did stand below the path of the plane, just before it hit. People put out flags in the area where the planes has passed before hitting the Pentagon. Even though we weren't able to go to the memorial itself, it was very touching to see all the people there. You could feel the love and the sadness.
I hope everyone got the chance to reflect on today and what happened 10 years ago. We are still fighting a war and have many troops to be thinking of today too. So, if you haven't already done so, please stop and remember those who lost their lives and who are fighting for yours now.
