Pink Saturday ~ 9/11 Remembered~

For today's Pink Saturday I have

decided to do a post on rememberance.

Tuesday, September 11th, 2001.

A day I will NOT forget as long as I live.

Do you remember where you were that day?

I will always remember where I was when I

heard the terrible news of a plane

going into the 1st trade center building.

And the news did not get any better.

I was at my church, beginning our

new Bible Study that always starts in the fall.  When we

finally got more news of what

was going on we stopped and PRAYED.

I could not have been in a better place that day.

Not far from me was my daughters school.

She attended the Christain school our church

had on their property.  Do you remember

that feeling of where are my loved ones?

I do.  I was so thankful that she was a

stones throw away. And if I needed to,

I could check on her safetly.

The days that followed were very eerie to me.

I remmeber hearing planes, but not

jet planes, fighter planes doing their rounds.

Living in the Greater Detroit area we are

near the Canadain border so our area

was heavily guarded this way.

I felt the heartache as I saw those 2 building crumble,

heard of what happened at the pentagon, and

also saw the remains of a plane that was meant

to kill more people.

We

heard stories of those whose bravery was instrumental

in saving lives.  Many who went to help, lost

their lives. And so much more that our

minds could not concieve the evil that has

caused this gapping hurt in our beloved

country.

BUT,

American's rallied!

American's LOVE their country.

American's were NOT going to let evil win!

I am so proud to be an American!

GOD Bless the U.S.A!
