never forget

day 363:


10 years ago there was a terrorist attack on the united states.


right after it happened everyone was saying that we would all never forget where we were when it happened.


and it's true. 10 years later and i still remember like it was yesterday.


everyone has a story. some have stories that are heart wrenching.


a few years later, i read the first chapter of the book let's roll, by lisa beamer, and cried my eyes out. i couldn't read the rest. there are too many people with stories like that.


to those that lost someone they loved... my heart hurts for you.


to those that helped in the aftermath - police, fire, military, etc. - i am thankful for your selflessness.


to those still fighting to keep our country safe... you are our heroes.
