Who can forget where they were that day 4 years ago in September? I was at school where I worked that morning. I was met by a co-worker in the hallway who told me there was a terrorist attack. I headed to the teachers lounge where many of our staff members were watching the tragedy unfold on TV. We could not believe our eyes. I thought to myself "could this be the end"? And it was the end-- the end of life as we knew it. Staff were expecting the schoolchildren to arrive within minutes. Were we safe? Could we hold it together while the world around us seemed to be falling apart? Could we protect the children? What about our own families?? Would we even make it through the day???? Thank God, we lived through that day. But thousands of Americans who went to work on September 11, 2001 did not.
President George W. Bush was a courageous leader to our wounded country and continues to be a pillar of strength in the face of disaster. The loss to the United States was tremendous and the grief it produced was profound. I will not forget those who were lost in the Twin Towers, their families, the passengers and crew on the planes, the brave individuals who rushed to save lives and the freedom fighters in foreign lands who have sacrificed in response to war being declared on America.
