It was not until I was writing a post late for Thursday and looked at the date that I knew I could not post the original one that I wrote. I know as you are reading this it is a day or two after September 11th, but I don't think that makes a difference.
I certainly remember that Tuesday morning 13 years ago quite well. I actually live less than a mile from the Pentagon and to think of something so terrible happening in your hometown to people you know is tough. There were a lot of people very closely connected with the tragedy that I knew. However though I was only 6, I do remember how much the community was involved and how much the country came together.
Please be thankful. Thank military men and women when you pass by. Hug your friends and family and tell them you love them. Nothing in this life is guarenteed- you never know how many times you might get the chance and never forget.
