Hero

Many men and women have fallen for the freedoms of this country. I am thankful to them and to their families for the sacrifices they make so that we can raise our families in a free land.

I only know a handful of people who have served in the armed forces

but I look at all in uniform as my Hero's.
Today is the 7th anniversary of 9-11 and I wanted to somehow honor and pay tribute to those who lost their lives that day. It was an event in history that everyone will remember. They will remember where they were and the feelings they had when they heard the horrific details of America being attacked by outside forces. At the same time 9-11 has become a forgotten story. People are blaming our government for what happened that day. Many are saying that it was just an excuse to go to war and that it is a mistake to be in Iraq and/or Afghanistan.
I am thankful for those who know what they are fighting for and are willing to fight.

Not only are they fighting for my freedom but for the freedom of people are

subject to evil rulers and have no freedoms of their own.
I am so proud and honored to be able to say that I am an American.

I hope I never forget what it means to be an American.
So again to all my hero's, to those serving and to those who have fallen, Thank you for your sacrifice, your courage, and your dedication to an honorable and noble cause.

God Bless the U.S.A
