There is a country song by Alan Jackson that he wrote in the days after the attack. It's called, "Where Were You When The World Stopped Turning". To this day whenever I hear that song, it takes me back to that day, 7 years ago when our "world stopped turning" by terrorists attacks.
I remember how helpless I felt as I sank down onto the couch and watched the television screen unfold with each new horror. I remember gathering my children around me and sobbing. I remember not wanting them to go to school that day but just to stay by me on the couch. I remember for days, weeks and months afterward, watching the continued clean up efforts by so many everyday people.
How thankful I am to live in the Land of the Free, Home of the Brave. I'm so grateful to the men and women, past and present, who have dedicated their lives to protecting our freedom.
Lee Greenwood sings it best:
"And I gladly stand up next to you and defend her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt, I love this land
God Bless the USA"
