I would be remiss in my "Army Wife Life" duties if I didn't post something today. Today is the day 8 years ago, when our lives changed forever. America changed that day, the day when terrorism crossed our borders and hit us at home. It was the day that took our military from training to war once again.
Most of America, after the shock of the those events receded, went back to their lives, their jobs, their everyday things. Those of us in the military, we didn't have that option. We went from a peace-time military to a mighty war machine. Overnight. The Sleeping Giant was roused once again.
We said goodbye to our husbands, our wives, our soldiers. We sent them off to do what they are trained to do. We sacrificed our family, for the sake of everyone else's. Eight years later, we are still saying goodbye.
On this day we remember all those who lost their lives in the 9/11 attacks, and all those who remain behind and miss them. We remember all those who have given their lives to prevent 9/11 from happening again, and we give thanks for all of our brave men and women who continue to fight, and sacrifice, to keep us free.
God Bless America!
