Remembering the victims of September 11th

Following in Krissy's footsteps and remembering 911, I am dedicating my journal entry today to remembering that tragic day in 2001.  The day the world stood still.  I am both sad and honored.  Sad for the thousands who perished that day.  Honored to be an American.

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,
Let us swear allegiance to a land that's free,
Let us all be grateful for a land so fair,
As we raise our voices in a solemn prayer:

God Bless America.
Land that I love
Stand beside her, and guide her
Thru the night with a light from above.
From the mountains, to the prairies ,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home. 

God Bless America,
Land that I love
Stand beside her,
And guide her,
Through the night
With the light from above,
From the mountains,
To the prairies,
To the ocean,
White with foam,
God bless America,
My home sweet home.
God bless America,
My home sweet home.

I can't believe it's been four years.

Hugs,
