WE REMEMBER AND HONOR THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES AND LOVED ONES ON SEPTEMBER 11, 2001. HERE IS MY OLDEST, CUTE SON WHO SERVED IN LAW ENFORCEMENT FOR 20 + YEARS...
WE ARE A FAMILY OF PROUD AMERICANS! MY HUSBAND, SONS AND SONS-IN-LAW HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY AND COMMUNITIES IN VARIOUS CAPACITIES...AIR FORCE, SECRET SERVICE, DIPLOMATIC SECURITY SERVICE, AND COUNTY SHERIFF. I AM PROUD OF THEIR SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY AND LOVE THEM FOR IT!
I WILL NEVER FORGET WHERE I WAS ON SEPTEMBER 11TH. TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE HISTORY...AT THAT TIME IN MY LIFE...I HAD 3 FAMILY MEMBERS IN THE SKY THAT DAY...THE EAST COAST TO BE EXACT...FLYING AROUND FOR BOTH UNITED & DELTA AIRLINES. MY HUSBAND, STEVE, WAS A PILOT AT DELTA AND MY DAUGHTER, EMALY, A FLIGHT ATTENDANT. MY SON-IN-LAW, COLIN, A PILOT FOR UNTIED. MY DAUGHTER LIVED IN MANHATTAN AT THE TIME... I REMEMBER WAKING UP AND TURNING ON THE TELEVISION AND WATCHING IT ALL UNFOLD...ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS AND I STARTED FRANTICALLY CALLING CELL PHONES CHECKING IN... WAITING TO HEAR FROM OUR LOVED ONES... WE FELT THE SAME TERROR AS MANY OTHERS DID THAT DAY AS WE WAITED TO HEAR FROM EACH OF THEM..... HOW LUCKY WE WERE TO HAVE OUR FAMILY SAFE AND ACCOUNTED FOR!! OUR HEARTS BROKE FOR THOSE THAT DIDN'T.. IT HIT SO CLOSE TO HOME FOR US THAT DAY!!! WE SEND MUCH LOVE TO NYC AND ALL THOSE EFFECTED BY 9/11. XOXOXO
