7 years ago.........today..

How much different life was 7 years ago from today. There are a few obvious things like.

1. airports (completely different)
2. high alert days
3. feeling that our country is "the most powerful, secure country in the World"

Then there are the emotional differences we each have faced. The images of that day when we all sat on our couches, in our offices, no planes flying, our neighbors, co-workers, and fellow Americans all felt the same way. For the first time in my life this nation was standing still. Religion, Color, Sexual orientation, family status did NOT matter to any of us that day. The only thing that joined all of us together that day was a genuine love for OUR Country.

In 2003 I went to ground zero. It was amazing the size of the hole in the ground. The number of 'MISSING POSTER' still hanging on the construction fence around ground zero. Two years later they were still cleaning up the devastation. It was hard to grasp what had happened that day and I felt like i was walking on sacred ground.

Here is to all of those that lost their lives, loved ones or have since sent a soldier to Iraq to continue fighting. CHEERS and God Bless!!!
