Remember

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." ~Ronald Reagan~

Freedom is not free…

Remember where you were… Remember who you were with… Remember what you saw… Remember what you felt…Remember what was lost and Grasp it with you whole heart and soul Always through your lives. For in that one moment the nation was one in our dis-believe meant. We all turned in stunned silence across a vast nation to two burning buildings. We as people watched in horror as people we all didn’t know, and never will know, lost their lives. In that moment we were of one heart in our shock and our sorrow…

I remember that day I was nine years old, I didn’t know what was happening, I  couldn’t grasp it. But I remember feeling it, I felt the shock, sorrow and rage in the air. The country was full of it because in that moment it didn’t matter who you are… you were effected. I am strong believer that everyone is connected through the people we know and lives we live. And EVERYONE was affected by that day. It’s one of those days that changed the course of so many lives. Personally I can’t remember a day where the impact of this day hasn’t effected my life. This moment changed the course of my life, and I didn’t even feel the complete loss of those that lose a spouse, a parent, and a child…

Yesterday I walked into memorial for September 11, 2001. When I walked into the room I didn’t even know that it was for. But as I entered into the room I felt I different atmosphere, it was unnaturally still with a somber silence. I was drawn to the smaller room in the center. As I walked into this make shift room I stood in front of a mirror that showed me and the walls around me. Looking closer I saw that they were covered in cards hanging on the walls with all the obituaries of the innocent people that were killed in those two towers, printed on them. The sure number alone was enough to move you. When I looked through them I noticed other people had written notes and hung them alongside the pictures of those people. I read some, explaining what they felt that day, if they lost some one and what they remember. But the one that moved me to tears was one I found out that was written in the unsteady hand writing of a child, it said “this is very sad”. Nothing else come to mind more than the blunt words of that child, that wasn’t even born at the time.

The connection of that moment brought a country together, and no matter how we disagree with each other views, values and lifestyles. We have this moment that connects us all.

Our troubles haven’t stopped in fact they’ve worsen. But We CAN NOT live in despair. As nation We rose with our lit candles and felt each others tears. As a nation we held each others hands And we held tight as we lifted each other. We stood as one, we were an UNITED NATION. As the day the Revolution was won, as the day the Civil war ended, as the day the Pearl Harbor was attacked and our sleeping Giant awoke, as of day We had man on the Moon, as the day a King spoke of His dream,  We were together  as Nation should be.

 We are a great people, But most of all we are different kind of people, We Are Americans, we come from everywhere, and thus connected to everywhere. We are all connected, and don’t understand we all try so hard to be so different for each other. We are a people that need to learn to Stand up as One for what is right or we’ll fall for anything.

We are the people of this great nation, and Must believe in that we will always have this nation for Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness. We must protect this nation with our very beings. And Must remember our history and those who died while making it. All those that stood up for our freedom are our mighty people, all those that have been Lost for the greater good of this nation will be remember as heroes And those that believe in a Greater tomorrow will have the strength of this nation to stand up against those who hunt our Freedom.

Remember…

Freedom is not free, it is bought by Courage, Faith, Blood, Tears and most of all Hope. Please Always Remember that this is our land, Our Home! We Must stand together as one Country, One People, and One Hope for a better tomorrow!!

Bless the families that are burdened with empty chairs and think of the unsung heroes that gave up their lives protect the country they fought for and loved. Bless the spouses that sleep alone tonight in bed much too big for one. Bless the children that will never know a parent and bless the ones that were only left with memories of great parents.
