11 Years Ago...

11 years ago today my husband called and I told him, "No hunny, it was just an explosion at the World Trade Centers. How could a plane fly into one?"
11 years ago today I was driving in my car listening to the radio and trying to figure out why the broadcasters were freaking out.
11 years ago today I got a frantic voice mail from my mom asking where I was and that she needed to see me and my brothers.
11 years ago today started out like any other clear beautiful September morning...one of the most beautiful that I can remember
11 years ago today when those towers came down, everything changed
11 years ago today when the plane crashed in that Pennsylvania field, everything changed
11 years ago today when the pentagon was attacked, everything changed
11 years ago today I have never been so proud to be an American, seeing my brothers running  in to rescue without regard for their own safety.
11 years ago today I have never been so proud to be an American, seeing fellow Americans stop and lend a hand in the search
11 years ago today we were tested and we proved that we will stand with each other, hand in hand
I will never forget what happened 11 years ago today...but more so, I will never forget the men and women who stood up that day and became heroes
I will never forget the World Trade Centers
I will never forget Flight 93
I will never forget the Pentagon
God bless all who were lost that day and all who still live with the scares of that day.
