Everyone over the age of thirteen remembers where they were seven years ago today. Some children even younger remember because mommy or daddy never came home from work. Some parking lot attendants in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Virginia, Maryland, and Massachusetts remember because they didn’t know which cars would ever be picked up. I remember because I worked with a lady named Sally whose daughter worked in the second tower. Sally waited for a telephone call telling her that her daughter was safe. That call never came. I remember because my own daughter lived a few blocks from the trade center. She was fine.<\/p>\n
My condolences to everyone who lost a loved one on that day. I stand in awe of the bravery of the fireman, policemen, military personnel, and ordinary people who performed heroic acts and saved lives. I thank God for the men and women in our military who have done everything they could since that day to see that we are not attacked again. <\/p>\n
We are not invincible. At some point, something will get through. We will never know about the attacks that are prevented, and that is probably a good thing. I only hope that when we are again threatened or attacked in some way, we remember to focus on the big picture instead of our little political squabbles.<\/p>\n
