New York City from my plane trip a few years later.
It has been ten years and I still cannot find the words to express.....
That I will never forget....
Those who died innocently,
The unamed heros....
the horror, the fear, the unbelief....
our President who was reading a story to children when he was told the news....
The faces on posters hanging in NYC which we all saw on tv.
My own son servicing in the USAF at the time....
had just come home the night before on leave.......
couldn't get through to the Base for his orders......
hugging him goodbye...
Driving to work every day watching the sky .......
I remember singing God Bless America all the time....
It gave me strength then and now and always.....
God bless all branches of our US Military who have kept us safe
the past ten years.
Many by giving of the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
I am linking with our gracious hostess Beverely for
and
Spiritual Sundays
Please stop over and see many other lovely posts.

Oh Lynn, this brought tears to my eyes. I have been watching a special on the country music channel. The music is so powerful. I pray daily for the military. Your beautiful image was so touching, blessings to you and yours today. Anne
A beautiful post, straight from your heart.
Beautiful post, Lynn. I don't think I'll ever forget the feeling at had upon hearing the news.
I read you weren't feeling good this week - hope you are much better.
Blessings,

thank you so much for your wonderful, kind words - yes we are both blessed that ours sons returned home safe and sound. Tell your son "Thank You" for his service, it is greatly appreciated as well! I hope you have a beautiful pink weekend!
A beautiful tribute, Lynn! You must have been so grateful that your son was home with you during that horrific time. Yet, I'm sure your concern was even greater when he had to leave.
For those of us not directly impacted, I dare say we CANNOT fathom the depth of pain, suffering, and anguish of those directly affected.
We can never forget those who do all they can to protect our freedoms.
GOD BLESS AMERICA...and have mercy upon us!

I'm praying America is safe tomorrow and all the day's left on our planet. We must never forget!
God Bless!
A very touching tribute for the 9-11 anniversary you have shared with us all. Thank you
May God richly bless you, your family and your son who has served faithfully.
It still hurts as much as the when I was watching tv on that fateful day.
I have made sure all five of my grandsons have seen ground zero in person.
I want to make sure they never forget.
Thank you for such a beautiful tribute.

We are all keeping you in our hearts... This will never be forgotten, and it stands as a reminder of extreme hate battled by extreme love.
Hugs,
I am so thankful for our military men. They sacrifice so much for us. Their families do, too. This was beautiful.
