WE REMEMBER!!!! WE WILL NEVER FORGET!!!!


So, on a more serious note. Today was the 6 year anniversary of, well the worst attack on American soil ever. As I sat home tonight, watching TV, I tried to think about what to write on. I decided I would write about this. I guess today off and on I felt a little sick. Thinking about lives lost. Thinking about our troops over seas and right here at home. At times I think I get so caught up in my little world, that I forget that men and women are risking their own lives for mine... And knowing that maybe they will never come across this blog, I still want to thank them for what they do. Let them know that with out them, we all would in a world of hurt.... I think most everyone can remember what they were doing at that time and how they felt.(Please feel free to post those things. I would like to know.) I know where I was. Of course it was September 11 2001 and I worked and lived in Pipestone Minnesota. On September 10 I worked 2-10 or 11 so, I ended up going out for some drinks with friends after work.. I got home late so, I ended up sleeping in until about 11:00am. I stayed with my Grandma at the time, so, I woke up and slowly walked out of my room. The TV loud as could be, Grandma was in her chair, just crying.

Josh-GRANDMA, WHATS WRONG? IS EVERYTHING ALRIGHT.

Grandma-OH JOSH, THIS IS TERRIBLE!

I then looked at the TV and saw the horrible site. I read the TV and I just couldn't believe it. I felt sick, angry, confused, and I was wondering, "Is this the end of the world?" So, many lives lost... So, many Hero's made. And for once in a long time our country stood together. United! As one. Flags hanging on every door, window, and post. And It continued for about 6-9 months. Everyone loved everyone...... Not no more tho. We have returned to hating on people who don't feel the same way we do.. We look at people from other middle eastern country's and wonder, are they going to blow up something? We bash Republicans and Democrats. We bash protesters(Who, because we are free have that right to protest) for speaking their views. We Hate, Hate, Hate.. Cause God forbid we find those things that we DO agree on and get that stuff done.... I WILL BE THE FIRST TO SAY OF MY SELF. I HAVE BASHED. I HAVE LOOKED DOWN. DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT. MAYBE SOME TIMES I NEED TO HAVE A DOCTOR REMOVE MY HEAD FROM MY ASS. BUT I AM MAN ENOUGH TO SAY IT. So, maybe when we come across someone else with different views, thoughts, color, sexual orientation, we will be more willing to accept them and not turn them away, or shove or views down their throats... May God Bless America and keep everyone safe... And hey, this is just MY2CENTS....
