WE GOT HIM!!!!!

There are time in a person's life that you can remember every little of a certain moment in time. Sadly September 11th, 2001 is one of those days. A beautiful fall day, not a cloud in the sky. I was getting ready to head to work then breaking news from New York City. Little did we know someone fueled with so much hatred was willing to declare war on the innocent across our country. I couldn't believe this day was happening. I would think to myself that this is some horrible dream and that my waking up everything would be back to normal. The dream was reality. Once a name and face behind the attacks came to light, there was no way this deed was going unpunished.

Nearly a decade later, I was sitting in the news room. The phone rings, it's the boss. He asks are rolling on a clean feed of the President of the United States he going to make a major announcement. Phones start ringing, the wires start buzzing, the emails trying to confirm what the leader of the free world was going to say.

"I can report to the American people and to the world that the United States has conducted an operation that killed Osama bin Laden, the leader of al Qaeda, and a terrorist who's responsible for the murder of thousands of innocent men, women, and children. "

The second those words came out of the President's mouth, the country went into a euphoria of excitement and jubilation. Everything took a backseat to this announcement. A nation stood united as always hearing that the most most hated person on the planet was getting his due. It was yet another moment in our careers where we captured history. Another moment where you will remember where you where when it happen. This time I knew it wasn't a dream, I knew this was reality, I knew this was the resolve of the American Spirit.

" we are once again reminded that America can do whatever we set our mind to. That is the story of our history, whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people, or the struggle for equality for all our citizens; our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place." - President Barack Obama

We will always remember those who lost their lives on the fall day. We remember those who gave their lives and thank those who protect our country in the decade to follow. We will also remember their sacrfices helped bring some closure to a nation wounded on a horrific day in September a decade ago.

Justice was little late but she came through again. Just blessed and thankful I here to witness it.

Do You Remember?

Where were you on September 11, 2001? Me? I was at home getting ready for work. For some strange reason I got up early and turned on the tube. I see a breaking news banner that a fire was going on in the World Trade center. Knowing no better I figure that they would have that thing under control. Knowing no better I had no idea that a group fueled by raged and hatred to our country had launched an attack that would define this generation.

So where were you on September 11, 2001? Him? That’s George Steffensen, he has been a paramedic for over two decades. He was enjoying a day off in the Big Apple when hell was unleashed. The day when everything changed. The day when freedom and liberty was tested. The day when he and his comrades rushed into the unknown. Not knowing if they will come home to the one they care about. Sadly, some did not make it. Others were scared for life.

So I ask again, where were you on September 11, 2001? I hope you remember what happened that day. George does.
