Day 59, 9/11/13
Twelve years ago my life like many got turned upside down. No I did not suffer a loss of a family member, but it was the first day in my career as a Marine that our country was going to war. With excitement many of us boarded a plane finally the days we have trained for was here. However, you could hear a pin drop on that flight as all of us took the flight time to reflect and it finally sank in what and where we were headed. That actual flight took place two days after 9/11. Yet this one day has been and will always be pivotal in my lifetime.
If I was given the chance I would do it all over again. However, there is one thing I would change. I would go over there without any shit in my lip. Then just go through one day at a time until tomorrow.
Peace be with all of the friends, family and loved ones that have fallen during and since 9/11/01. I miss my brothers as they are my heroes and their memories help me Quit every day.
Take time today to reflect on your life, your quit, your family and friends. Remember reflecting is when you recall all the old times and smile knowing that somewhere someone is smiling down on you today because you are quit and they are proud of you.
