So it's 9/10/11. Yep the day before the 10th Anniversary of the infamous 9/11! We can't go anywhere or listen to the radio or watch the news or even go to my favorite news website without seeing SOMETHING about the 10th Anniversary of the this date. I guess it's not that I'm trying to forget about it, but it sorta upsets me that we as a nation decide to get so patriotic after such an event, an attack and most of all a slap in the face. This was a wake up call but I feel that shortly after we went to war many people forget the reason for us going to war. Now people, our own citizens, are so against our nation doing what we're doing in other countries. I'm afraid that we as a nation have fallen back to "sleep" and I'm afraid what will happen next. We need to continue to be vigilant and remember who we are as a nation and protect what we have. Yes we may be struggling in our economy but why do we farm out jobs to other countries and why do we continue to not look at ways to strengthen our own country?! It's all very tiresome and I hope that we can continue to remember who we are and stand up for America and keep it safe for future generations.
You know the other day when I got my flight itinerary and saw that I was flying out on the morning of the 10th Anniversary and I had so many bad thoughts run through my head and I knew as soon as I told the wife about my flight she'd lose it. But I also thought of the security measures that we have in place. I myself have been thoroughly searched probably because the little sniff machine picked up a hint of gun powder. I thought how is it possible that someone could get something even more dangerous on a plane?! My thoughts also went those who flew and perished the day of 9/11/01. I'm still a little nervous but I'm sure I'll be fine and get to Utah safe. I'm more concerned for the mental stress for the wifey! :P
I pray for those others flying out tomorrow. But I'm sure if something were to happen up there most of us would act out and keep the rest of the passengers safe because there are those who are sheep and those of us who are sheep dogs! Woof! ;) Anywho, I thought I'd upload some recent photos as well.
