10 years later

"Let America be America again.
Let it be the dream it used to be.
Let it be the pioneer on the plain
Seeking a home where he himself is free..."
-Langston Hughes


I cannot believe it's been 10 years since the 9/11 tragedies.
We have been watching some 9/11 memorials lately and I am so amazed and in awe of all the brave men and women who took a stand that day, and gave their lives, and energy to help save others. I like to think if I was in a position like that I would be brave, and courageous like those we heard about- but I'm not sure I would have the bravery that a lot of the men and women from 9/11 had.
Thank you to all the firemen, policemen, and civilians who gave their lives in heroic acts

Amen to that Em. You were 12 when this all happened. Such a tragic day, that we need to remember.
