9/11/08

I remember the day this date seven years ago as a warm and sunny September day. We had just set down to begin our day with lessons in the living room. On the radio WHO out of Des Moines, Iowa was reporting an explosion in New York City at the Twin Towers. The kids and I turned on cable news to learn that an airplane had hit one of those incredible towers and we watched as a second plane hit the second tower. It was a day of holding my breath for more horrible news. It just didn't seem possible that it could happen on American soil, how blessed we had been. In the days that followed I was so proud of our President George W. Bush. He had inherited the problems of lack of attention to the acts of terror to Americans on foriegn soil before he came to office. He didn't go out to blame his predecessors but he took a stand and did what needed to be done. No one likes war but freedom isn't free. In the spirit of this day and the upcoming election I am posting the URL for a video supporting John McCain but more than that supporting all those people who have given something to protect us from more attacks.
