9.12

“We will not waver; we will not tire; we will not falter; and we will not fail.” 
George W Bush 
October 2001


WE GOT HIM!   Justice has been served.  In the early morning of May 2, 2011, the Navy Seals took down Osama Bin Laden, the most wanted terrorist and to people in the USA, the most evil man in the world.  
It's hard to believe that my children were not alive or even a blip on my radar when 9/11 happened.  The celebrations over his death have been widespread and I can't help but reflect on that horrific day that happened almost 10 years ago.



I recently heard on the news about a 9/12 movement.  It's a movement to get our country back to how we were the day after 9/11.  We fell to our knees when the terrorists killed innocent Americans.  We all prayed to God.  Our faith was strong.  Our communities were united.

The months and years have passed and the country has fallen back into complacency.  Our communities are not united.  Our faith is wavering.  We aren't on our knees daily.

What a country we would be if we were the same country we were the morning of 9/12 - without a major crisis to motivate us. 

Something to think about...
