September 11th

Ten years ago today, I was getting ready for school. I was in 7th grade and was focusing on looking my absolute 12-year-old best. My dad called from his bedroom, "Girls! Come in here." We ran into the room and watched, as the horror of the attacks unfolded on live TV. That day in school, our teachers explained to us what had happened, and we discussed what "terrorists" were, for the first time. When I got home, I sat in my room and cried. 
I didn't understand the magnitude of what happened, and I certainly didn't expect to someday marry a US Soldier, who would go on to fight for that very cause. I'm proud to be an American, thankful for our brave troops, and respectful of our fallen loved ones. 

Today and Forever, We'll Always Remember.
GOD BLESS THE USA.
