I still get choked up. Glad I didn't run off and join the military though. Was actually talking to recruits the couple weeks following.

No one in this generation or the next will EVER forget.

I willing to bet that most of us, had we been asked on 09/12/06 if we thought there would be another attack within the next 5 years, we would have all answered YES.

And yet today, we haven't been, they've tried and failed. We have the agencies that everyone has mentioned to thank and thank and thank.

In addition to the agencies mentioned, let's not foregt the 1st responders. they bear the burden everyday to prepare and be ready to step in, even when they don't know what they're stepping into.

While everytime I see the World Trade Center come down I GET MAD.
and then I'm thankful, grateful and appreciative of the last 5 years. And yes times will never be the same, but we're Americans and we can do whatever we have to to prevail.

Tony Blair was recently asked "What is the greatest country in the world?". He instantly answered "The United States of America". the person asking the question immediately asked him how he knew this. Blair replied "Because more people are trying to get IN, than are trying to get OUT".

God Bless America
