I just wanted to take time and honor all of our fallen heroes and loved ones who either lost their lives or loved ones due to the attacks on the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and those aboard Flight 93 on that tragic day. I can’t believe it’s already been 8 years and yet it seems like it was just yesterday. I remember I was getting ready for another typical day of work doing the Chiropractor thing when the news broke in and described what had just happened. I was stunned! Then they announced that the FAA had shut down all U.S. airports for fear of continued attacks around the USA.

That really freaked me out because my daughter, who was in 3rd grade at the time, had just been dropped off to school in Midland, Texas, home of our then President, George W. Bush. I thought to myself there’s no way I am leaving my baby at school in the same town that might be blown up next. So my wife went to pick her up from school, and when they got home, all I wanted to do was hold my baby girl tight. I felt so vulnerable and helpless as to what we Americans had let this great country come to, yet it made me and probably all of us for that matter, appreciate every little freedom we have had living in this great country, the USA.

So as this day commemorates the “Day that changed America forever,” I ask each and everyone of you who read this blog to take time out of your day to honor all of those who have been effected by September 11, 2001. Say a prayer for their families as well as those injured who are still struggling to put their lives back together. I hope and pray that God continues to carry them through this day, knowing all is well!

Don’t forget to fly your flags too and if you see one of our Military personnel, take the initiative to stop and say thank you for all they have done and continue to do so that we may live in peace and freedom. Maybe even take the time to sing or listen to the song, GOD BLESS AMERICA! Until next time… AB out!
