Today is a solemn day in American history. Many innocent people lost their lives on this day seven years ago. Some became victims, some became villains; and many became heroes. Unfortunately, the number of victims from this tragic incident is still growing due to the casualties of war that was brought on by this day.
And yet America has forgotten. They have forgotten that we are a country still at war due to the events of this day. They have forgotten the soldiers and civilians who keep the fight off of our land and keep our freedoms in tact. The soldiers and civilians, though, have not forgotten you. They wake up every single day in Iraq, hearing explosions and gunfire, fighting off insurgents, helping the innocent people of Iraq reclaim their land. All before you reach for your morning cup of coffee.
Im not asking you to go strap on a pair of boots and a gun to fight the good fight. All I'm asking is that you remember. Give them, the victims and the heroes, a moment of silence today. And every day. And when you see a soldier or meet a civilian who has gone over there to serve, a simple "Thank You" will do.
