9/11 was the day we as a country stopped being innocent. It is also the day we as a country stopped defending ourselves from terrorism and begun taking the fight to them. I remember where I was when the towers fell, hoping that Tim’s son got out of building 5 before it fell. I have visited ground zero and saw the emptiness and the memorials to the fallen. Robert and I flew over NY only 10 days after the attacks and saw the burning smoke still thick in the air. I feel that this was our generations Pearl Harbor and can only imagine the fright and panic they experienced that Sunday morning. But, I have never been afraid, for to do so is to give the terrorist a win. Remember there is a difference between the people who attacked us 5 years ago and where we are now, do not be misdirected. That being said, you don't always have to agree with the politicians, but never stop supporting our men and women in uniform, I don’t and never will. Maybe today is a good day to stop and reflect on what is truly important in life and what each of us is grateful for in our lives. I wish all peace and happiness. Fair winds, tight lines, and hope to see you on the salt.
