I wanted to make this post separate from the other one since I felt it deserves it's own. Today is September 11, 2010. 9 years ago today were the tragic attacks of terrorism on our country. Thousands of innocent people lost their lives that day- both civilians and first responders. It is due to these events that we are in a war in Iraq and Afghanistan. This war has been 9 years long. Many of our nation's soldiers both young and old gave their lives there. I pray for their souls and hope that they have a place next to God up in Heaven, as they should be. Recently our president announced that the troop reduction was going into effect and the Iraqi people will now be responsible for keeping order in their own country. Afghanistan will be next. I hope that all of our troops will be home soon safe and sound and allowed to live their lives in peace. It's been a long 9 years, and although I supported president Bush for his reasons for getting involved there, I am glad that Obama was able to bring some trips home. Don't get me wrong, I am a devout Rebublican, and a Bush supporter (as unpopular as that is in some areas of the country.) I think about all of the families affected by this entire situation and pray that there is peace and recovery.
So today I will light a candle in honor of the fallen heroes, the civilian casualties of all the nations involved and pray for peace.
God Bless America- Land of the Free, Home of the Brave!!
That's it and that's all!
