Today is Patriots Day. I remember where I was and what I was doing when I saw the terrible tragedy unfold on the Today Show. I usually think the question, "are you sitting down?" is overdramatization. I am not a very dramatic person and can handle all kinds of stress and bad news, but I remember having to sit down for this. This event caused a lot of people to sit down. And more importantly it caused a lot of people to drop to their knees and pray to the God that they haven't talked to in a long time. Someone once said that anything that drives you to the heart of God is a good thing. This is so true.
Patriots Day takes on new meaning for me this year because my son is fighting on a foreign land. He is fighting for our freedom and the freedom of those over there. I am thankful that he is in Iraq now and not when the war first started. I am thankful that he is in Iraq now and not in Afghanistan. Let us never forget all those that have lost their lives in the 9/11 tragedy and all those that have lost their lives fighting for our countries freedoms.
