Remembering where I was on 9/11
That morning I was at work at the funeral home with members of a military family who were in early before the funeral service of their father. I saw on aol news the report of the first plane hitting a tower and made a comment to some of them about it. They all immediately went on “alert” and starting making phone calls. As the second tower was hit, I heard them saying, “this is an attack”, “we’re under attack”, and I can’t help but still be amazed, that even for them in what they were in the middle of with their father, every one of their focus and attention went to the living and their role in saving life and taking their stand against evil. I think of that family every year today, and pray for their continued comfort as they remember their dad, but also thank God for their devotion and commitment to our country. I’m forever thankful for and grateful to the men and women of our military. God’s blessings to each one of you, today and every day!
