Today we remember those who risked their lives to save ours and ensure our freedom. Today I am thankful for my brother who served our country in the Army during 9/11 and continues to protect his community as a police officer. I am thankful for my high school friends who are police officers and firemen.
I was a freshman at TCU, and my brother was stationed in South Korea. I turned on the news while getting ready for class. I watched the towers fall on my way to political theory class (rather ironic). Classes were suspended and everyone gathered in the Student Center to watch. United we stood. Our first football game was cancelled that weekend, but no one doubted the call. It is a day I will never forget.
I also celebrate today because two special people in my life celebrate their birthdays today! Love you V and my Big!
Such an awful day. I hope your brother is safe.
