Can you believe it has been 7 years since the terrorists attacked America?
Seven years ago, we woke up to the news showing over and over again the planes flying into the two towers. It took us a bit to figure out that the planes had hit hours before. We saw the devastation; we saw the towers fall. We saw the wreckage of flight 92 minutes after it went down. We watched in horror as a plane crashed into the Pentagon and a gaping hole appeared.
Then there was the aftermath. People were afraid, but we were filled with righteous indignation, too. We mourned our lost, but we also stood up to fight.
Now, seven years later, we are able to walk and live in safety. No one has attempted to stain America’s soil since 9-11. Maybe that isn’t true – there have been attempts, but they have never made it to fruition. Our soldiers have ensured our freedom with their lives. Our soldiers have also ensured the freedom of the Afghan people and the Iraqi people. Freedom is not cheap. Thankfully America has nurtured men & women who know and understand this and are willing to pay the price. We are unique. America is not like other countries. We are the first to help, the first to defend, and the last to accept defeat.
May God bless America for many more years to come! May we enjoy many more years of peace and realize that our peace and safety are due to Him and His good will toward us. I pray that God would richly bless all the families who have sacrificed and lost members due to war and the keeping of peace.
