Happy 9/11! I'd like to take the time right now to remember the innocent people that died that day. As soon as I remembered today was 9/11, I wanted to rush to the store and buy a U.S. flag. You know, I've never really been interested in this situation until this year... has that ever happened to you?
See you l8r!!! <- =)

When you get older, Sydneyrella, things that didn't really matter as a kid become more important...such as patriotism. I'm glad that you were thinking of those people and their families yesterday...and also thinking about our flag and our country and how lucky and blessed we are to be American's. The flag and America have always been very special to me. I went to military schools through 6th grade since Papa was in the Air Force. It was always so cool to be saluted onto the base almost every day by a MP (well, they weren't saluting me, but were saluting Papa), and then see all of the men and women in their uniforms and the respect each of them had for each other, and the flag. People would salute other people as they were walking down the sidewalks, or if the National Anthem played over the loud speakers which were all over the bases, they would immediately stop, look for the closest flag, and salute it as the National Anthem played...I'll never forget those moments in my life. I was thinking about how much I missed having our flag pole in our front yard yesterday...maybe we'll have to go get one soon. Love ya!
In the crazy world we are living in, it is important to know and love 3 things...God, family, and your country. Go to church, pray, learn of your ancestors, respect your country, and learn all you can about history. Learning from the past will always help and better your future. I am proud to have a patriotic niece. I love you!
