September, 11th ~ Patriot Day

Sadness and a sense of being lost overwhelmed me today. But i also found motivation in the remembrance of today.

I submitted my application to volunteer with USA Cares. It's based near where i live and i am hoping to get some hands on volunteering. I am very excited and motivated. I will keep updated how my journey goes in becoming involved!

I also adopted a soldier and sat down and wrote a letter to them. These are small things... nothing like what our men and women are doing overseas, fighting a war. But i am hoping my little contribution will be a smile to someone's face. Maybe even inspire someone else to give back a little of themselves, as well.

Today is a day of remembrance, of gratitude and of reflection. May God bless our Men and Women fighting this war, literal or figuratively. May He bless the victims of the tragedy of 9-11, each and every one that has died because of the acts of that day. May families, friends, and loved ones find comfort in Him. and may God bless America.
