The 9/11 event made me appreciate my life in many ways. I do have a greater awareness of those who fight to keep our country free and safe. I try to thank them individually as I see them, and give to the organizations that support them and their families. I'm sad that the old ways of doing things is no longer possible due to the radical groups that threaten us.
