Tribute to innocent victims and heroes

Sept. 11th is one of few days in life you remember exactly where you were and what you were doing when you heard the news that morning. It's like so when we first heard when Princess Diana died. People said they remember when they first heard when President Kennedy was shot. These defining moments are shocking and sad. Seems like it was just yesterday when people were glued to the news to find out what is going on in our country on Sept. 11, 2001 and the phone calls trying to go through to make sure our love ones are okay. At the time, I was in Pennsylvania and Wesley was in the Washington DC area. Not so safe zones that morning. It felt like a national healing or bonding experience when friends and colleagues talked about who they know that were effected by Sept. 11th. It's amazing that seems like everyone knows someone who knows someone who was directly effected. Seven degrees of separation. That means despite of our different point of views, background, or gender, we're closely linked to each other in our country. Let's pray for our troops overseas fighting the terrorists with the strength to achieve their goals and to come home safely.
