I am sitting here today watching a program to honor the lives of those lost on Sept. 11. It is such a painful program to watch because our country lost so much that day. My prayers are with all the families who lost someone. I will always be grateful for the Heros who appeared that day. I remember it not only as a day of loss though. I remember it as a day when our country joined hands. Our background, religion or politics did not matter. We were Americans and we stood together that day and offered our love and support.
