Remember.....

I remember where I was when I first heard the news of 9/11. Jill and I were in her ghetto Ranchero on our way home from the horse pasture. We thought it was a joke or at least bad reception through her radio. At home we turned on the news just in time to see the second plane hit. I was at USU at the time, classes were canceled, no one could believe what had happened. At the time Dave was on his mission in the Dominican Republic. I think back now and I don't think I realized the impact that this day would have on my life. Dave and I were married in June of 2003 and by December of 2003 he was being called on his first deployment to Afghanistan. And now nine years later, during his second deployment, it is this day, September 11 that has molded and shaped our lives. And its not just mine, how many millions of lives were irreversibly altered on that day..... May we always remember and never forget. May we be strong, proud Americans, and remember our constitution and the rights and freedoms that come with it and above all support those who fought and still fight to keep it that way.
