we will never forget

where were you on that fatefull day of september 11, 2001? i know exactly where i was. i was on an oil rig, about 120 miles off the coast of galveston,tx. i woke up at 10 a.m., was getting dressed to start my tour, when i turned on the tv and saw all of the smoke. i figured something like a gas leak, or something of that nature had started a fire. i never in a million years would have ever though that my country, the U.S.A., could ever possibly have been attacked by terrorist. that kind of thing doesnt happen in our country. well, it did. it did and thousands lost their lives, loved ones, friends, co-workers. i went to ground zero a couple years ago. all of the footage i saw on tv, i thought of the people in the twin towers, the folks on the street. however, i didnt think of the folks in the buildings next to the world trade center that were eye level to all of this. the buildings are so close together and i cant imagine what it was like to be eye level with all that was going on. this day will forever leave our hearts and minds full of the image of those planes flying into the world trade center. if there is a silver lining in all of this, our country came together. i cant remember a time when i felt and saw so much pride in our country and nation. everyone was ready to fight, everyone was quick to cover their heart with their hat when ol glory waved. i was then and am now mighty proud to live here in the U.S.A. although our government is screwed up, AMERICA is still the greatest nation in the world. so, when you lie down tonight, think of those that are doing the same, but without their husbands, wives. tomorrow when your kids come in to wake you up, think of those that will lie there knowing their kids will never come wake them up again. WE WILL NEVER FORGET!
