We may not be posting about 9-11 year-round, but there are men and women overseas right now fighting for us because of what happened, and we should do our best to think of them.
There's a sign at a paint store in Valdosta that says, "Do something nice for someone with a deployed spouse today." These people have left their lives and families behind to fight for us whether we agree with the cause or not. We should all be grateful and do what we can to help families that are here alone, both of those lost on 9-11 and those overseas.

This post made me cry! It's amazing how many people forget that this is by no means over. My husband is in Iraq, and has been there since May 1st. I get to talk to him periodically, but won't be able to see him until most likely February. In between now and February, I'll give birth to our first child, whom he will not see until he is three months old. It's very hard for both of us, but he believes in the reason that he is there, and I find comfort in that.
I just want to ask everyone to hold your families a little tighter today, and remember them everyday. You never know if they'll be here tomorrow.
