Never Forget

Several weeks ago, every news organization started interviewing and writing articles about people's perspectives of 9/11.  I read one about a boy who is turning 10 today, on the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on our country.

Unfortunately, this article just did not sit right with me.  He stated that 9/11 "was no big deal to me."

What?!!!

I know this young man was too little to remember life before those terrorist attacks and he didn't know any of the people who died that day nor in the wars to follow.

My own children were 3 months old and 2 years old at the time of the attacks.  They do not have their own memories of the attacks because they were too little too.

Yet, my husband and I have done our best to raise them right because 9/11 was and still is a big deal.  It's a tricky balance--to teach them about that day and the war on terror without scaring them--but it's important.

All the people who died that day and all the troops (both US and our allies) who have made the ultimate sacrifice since then deserve that much.  So, as for me and my house, we will never forget.
