A sad day

As we watch Hurricane Irma make her way out of Florida, we will wait to see what destruction she left behind. It's still too early to make any damage assessments. Hopefully we'll know in a few days what was spared and what was not. At this point we know that half the state of Florida is without power today. That's a lot of people with no electricity! On a day when we are praying for the people of the Caribbean island nations, the Floridians, the Houstonians, and anyone else in Irma's path, let us not forget what happened 16 years ago today. September 11, 2001 was the worst day in United States history since the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941. Our great nation is still feeling the affects of those terrorist attacks sixteen years ago. Let us never forget what happened on that terrible day. What was supposed to bring our country to its knees, only strengthened us as Americans and hardened our resolve. This is a sad day in America, but as we always do, we will bounce back! May God bless the United States of America!
