This Is What I Saw On The TV As I Walked Into The Waiting Room At Port Huron Hospital On September 11,

This is what I saw on the TV as I walked into the waiting room at Port Huron Hospital on September 11, 2001. Everyone was transfixed and my first thought was "what movie are they watching" and then the reality of the true event became all too evident. A horrible act of cowardice enacted upon our own lands. Our enemies thought this would dishearten the American people. How wrong they were. Sure in the initial hours there was fear and confusion but it all quickly turned to resolve. The American people are not cowards and weaklings as those who planned and carried out attacks on non combatants, civilians, innocents. From the ashes that our enemies created rose an Eagle not a Phoenix. An Eagle ready to search and bring those responsible to their knees. The American people became stronger as a nation as we sought to help those directly affected by the attacks as our military girded for battle led by a president who loved our citizenry and supported our military. I want to take time to remember and honor those who lost their lives on that day. The innocents and those who bravely ran to the chaos to help knowing that their own lives may be lost, the firefighters and policemen. I remember and honor not only them but their family's and loved ones as well, they made such men and women possible by the environment of love and support of them and their chosen career paths. Let us not let the memory of them all be lost. Let us not let our enemies know that we forget. Let us keep our resolve to end terror not make peace with it, as our current POTUS thinks he can, but END it. Let us not let these lives lost to have been lost in vain. God bless them, God Bless their families, God bless our warriors (military, civilian firefighters and law enforcement), God Bless America.
