8 years ago...

8 years ago on September 11th. We will never forget how we felt that day. McCord and I always reflect about that day and how America kinda came together. Yes, it was so tragic, but it's important that we look back and learn from what happened, remember how we felt that day, and let that day govern whatever choices you have for the future. Whatever your political views, etc. We all know that 8 years ago, the horrible happenings changed each individual of our nation. More people were saying prayers for others and themselves. More people came home to love their families, and more people were grateful for what they had instead of be greedy for whatever was being advertised through the tv.
Our experience this Sept 11th:
We were randomly driving in downtown SLC when we came across this.

McCord and I shed tears. We love this country and have been in Germany for those 6 months at the beginning of this year. We never saw anything like the patriotism that the US has while we were there. The sight of this...We couldn't believe our eyes. We both just couldn't believe it.

They held a ceremony for the soldiers that have died in the war, fighting for our families and our freedom. Here are the mothers of the lost soldiers, they all hugged each other, strangers, but they all had one thing in common. The mothers cried when the roll call was sounded and their son's names were read and there was no answer of "here" from the soldiers. They played taps and all the soldiers present soluted.

The fire truck that was there let us go up on the ladder and take a picture of all the flags that were there. It was so amazing!

It was a priceless experience for us. We love our soldiers so much, and anyone who stands up for this country. We love the United States and the freedoms that we have here. God Bless the USA.
