I will never forget where I was on September 11th, 12 years ago. It is one of those days that has forever been burned into my memory. I remember feeling the pain of confusion, wondering what was happening in my world. I remember feeling anger at how someone could be so evil. I remember being frustrated at the feeling like there was nothing I can do to help. At the end of the day I remember feeling like my world had just been flipped upside down and shaken all up. Where were you? What do you remember?
Today we celebrate and remember Patriots day, an opportunity for us to pause and reflect on all of those men and women who lost their lives in the tragedy of September 11th. It is appropriate to pause and remember, It is good to look back and reflect. But today we should also look forward and seek opportunities to honor those men and women in our lives who stand up to protect the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy in our nation.
Honor is defined simply as regarding with great respect.
Let’s look for ways to honor those around us not only today, but each and every day.
