9 years ago today, our country was being attacked. I remember sitting in 3rd period in spanish class in the 8th grade when an announcment came on the intercome, our principle was interruping class to let us know that planes had been hijacked and one was already in one of the towers. As the world stopped to see what was going on, I remember the fear I not only had in my face, but the fear and confusion in my classmates, family, and fellow neighbors faces. Although, I did not have anyone that was taken from me on this day, I knew people who were supposed to be in those towers and friends that had fathers, uncles, grandparents, and etc on the planes and in the towers. My heart ached for them. Losing someone is not the greatest feeling. As a result of September 11, we went into war. We sent several troops into the middle east to look for the mastermind behind the plan to attack America. Through the past 9 years, our troops have been overseas fighting for our freedom to ensure that we were not to be attacked again. There has been thousands of soldiers that have died fighting for our freedom and I cannot thank them enough.So THANK YOU to all of the other soldiers out there that have been fighting for us! You are our biggest heroes and we cant thank you enough! I only have 2 people in my life that are soldiers, and I don't know anyone through my family or my friends that are overseas either. So to the two people in my life, Matthew, my brother-in-law, although you are not in Iraq or any where else in the middle east, I still would like to thank you for what you have done for us! You are a great guy, an amazing brother-in-law and a great friend!
&& to Michael Wayne Maxwell, the love of my life, thank you for serving our country, by putting your life on the line in Iraq to fight for us. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me, and although you are about to go back to Iraq for your second tour, you better come home to me. I love you will all of my heart, and cannot thank you enough for the sacrafices that you have made for not only me, but people you don't even know. You are an amazing guy, and I love you baby! <3
