I read another post the other day and it asked, "do you remember where you were when the attacks on the twin towers, the Pentagon and United Airlines flight 93 occurred?" Yes, I do remember and one of the very first thoughts that raced across my mind was an urgent sense to get to my loved ones. My wife (who was at work) and my kids all of whom were in school at the time.
As I made my way from a Ministers meeting in St. Petersburg, FL to check on my wife at her job (about 20 minutes away) I listened intently to the news on the radio. While in my car I realized that countless lives had been lost. The number was unknown but sure to grow. Men and women, children-so many innocent lives senselessly snuffed out.
Then there were the firefighters, EMT's, police, guardsmen, and virtually any other civil servant you can imagine. On the scene, ready to lay their lives on the line for fellow man and country.
It is true- We Will Not Forget!
Thank you to ALL who have served in some capacity to preserve, defend and protect our nation.
May God bless and keep you!
