Don't forget what today is.  September 11th is a day that Americans will hopefully remember forever.  One of the greatest tragedies of our time.  Take a moment of silence today to remember all those that lost their lives, loved ones, friends, and family.  Whether you pray quietly to yourself or just close your eyes and reflect, take a moment.  If you see a soldier, shake their hand and tell them "Thank You" for everything they do for us.  We take a lot for granted in today's society and with the economy in the state it's in, it is easy to forget.  So do yourself a favor and look around you, look at your job (if you still have one), your wife or husband, son or daughter, your cats and dogs and be thankful.  Count your blessings, they are truly gifts.  It's hard to imagine not having them around, and sometimes you don't realize it until it's too late. 

We have people overseas fighting for our freedom, defending our nation and everything we stand for as Americans.  You may not agree with the war, you may not want your child to listen to the President, you may not like paying taxes, but remember the reason you're not locked up in prison for disagreeing with our Government is the fact that our soldiers are doing a fine job protecting your rights to an opinion. 

For everyone that is in the armed forces, even down to the guy flipping burgers at McDonald's... Thank You!
