 This Page is dedicated to those police officers, and firemen and women who lost thier lives, protecting and serving on that terrible morning of September 11th, 2001; as well as December 7th, 1941. I would also like to extend my deepest sympathies to those families who lost loved ones on both of these tragic events. May God bless all of you in your time of grief and mourning. My prayers are with all of you. 
Words cannot describe the feeling of suffering and despair in our hearts when you realize the loses in terms of human lives. The sadest thing is that the people who would do evil things to hurt our country are really hurting the entire world. When you look at the news, the victims are from all walks of life, including people from the middle east as well. This is so sad my brother, it has broken our hearts but not our spirit and as you well know, there will be one hell of a price to pay by those who would perpetrate such crimes against our state and country. Life will slowly return to normal, if we can ever be normal again, and the wounds will heal with time, if such a thing is possible, and we will go on as a nation. As americans we will be more united than ever and stronger than ever. As a global village, all people of the world will be closer because this kind of thing really affects us all. We are grateful for our families and friends that make life worth living every day, and our hearts go out to those who have lost soo much in this great disaster. I don't know how anyone can find the strength to go on living after losing a loved one in this type of situation, it is unthinkable. We love you and pray for you. May god always protect you, you crazy hero!  
 On Monday we thought that we were secure....On Tuesday we learned better. On Monday we were talking about heroes as being athletes... On Monday we were irritated that our rebate checks had not arrived.....  On Tuesday you would have been hard pressed to find a school where someone was not praying. On Monday people argued with their kids about picking up their room.... On Monday people were upset that they had to wait 6 minutes in a fast food line....  On Tuesday we waved only the American flag. On Monday there were people trying to separate each other by race, sex, color and creed.....On Tuesday they were all holding hands. On Monday we were man or woman, black or white, old or young, rich or poor, gay or straight, Christian or non-Christian.....On Tuesday we were ALL Americans. On Monday politician argued about budget surpluses..... On Monday the President was going to Florida to read to children.... On Monday we had families....On Tuesday we had orphans. On Monday people went to work as usual.....On Tuesday they died. On Monday people were fighting the 10 commandments on government property.... It is sadly ironic how it takes horrific events to place things into perspective, but it has.The lessons learned this week, the things we have taken for granted, the things that have been forgotten or overlooked, hopefully will never be forgotten again.

Kennedy was assassinated in Dallas, Texas. That goes the same for September 11, 2001; the day we were attacked by terrorists. Here's how I remember that mournful day:
I got up around 7 a.m., which is normal for me. I poured my first cup of coffee and was working on web pages, as I like to do in the morning. The phone rang around 8:45 am, it was my father telling me to turn on the news. He told me that a plane had crashed into the World Trade Center. I was flabbergasted, and thought he was kidding me. My father and I remained on the telephone, watching in horror, as the events in Washington were unfolding around the World Trade Center, Washington DC. We saw the first tower burning, and then we watched in awe as an airplane deliberately struck the second tower. We were both horrified! We knew it had to be an senseless act of terrorism. The news began filtering in about the Pentagon and the plane crash in Pennsylvania. We both stayed glued to the TV that entire dreadful day.
So now when someone asks what were you doing on September 11, 2001; the day that the United States of America was attacked by terrorists, you will always know because this is something that will forever be implanted in everyone's memories and souls. This is the day that thousands of innocent victims died at the hands of terrorists.  Policeman's PrayerOh almighty God,
Protect them from harm
We pray, help them keep our streets
Dear God protect these brave:
