Which is always an important question to ask* becau se it m akes you think about it. W fe t is the world situation? Spiiyay As we see the six Spéàks year anniversary o f the 9/11 attack on the United States, we really must look at the situation, as this. v event has affectéd mâny lives— not only those who were lost due to the terrorist acts, but the troops that are now overseas to fight the terrorists; I remember waking up that morning and drinking coffee, and watching the news and star­ ing in disbelief that it was actu- ; ally happening. The Twin Tow­ ers had smoke drifting o ff in£®. the sky. To hie it Was like some-1 thing ypu only seen in the mov­ ies. I almost didn’t believe it. I watched further and saw the Pentagon was. attacked. It was hard to believe it was hap­ pening in our country. I cam e to w ork and go t iphone calls from friends about; it. By then it had sunk in that it was actually real. Since then I have remémbered the people who lost their lives in thisfer- rorist act. I feel for them and their families. ^ U ntil recently I couldn’tfcven imagine losing family It is some^ thing you never forget once' ie happens to you, § • ' 'So,*noW I appreciate family who are there for; me in times o f grief. I appreciate the troOp# who are overseas and stateside who dedicate their time and ef­ forts for all Americans. I treasure allriiy new memo­ ries o f family and friends, as I have been hearing, “tomorrow is not promised.” We appreci-, ate everyone today because o f ^this.
