Tomorrow marks the 6-year anniversary of the attacks on 9/11/2001. It's hard to believe it has already been 6 years! I know that that day will forever hold a place in my mind - and I'll always remember where I was and the events that unfolded that day...
On September 11, 2001 I was living on Ft. Myer in Arlington, VA - just one mile away from the Pentagon. My husband was a member of the Honor Guard (3d US Infantry) and we were expecting our first child. I was 9 months pregnant - our expected due date was 9/22.
Fast forward 6 years and I find myself in an oddly familiar situation. I am again 9 months pregnant and expecting the birth of our 2nd child on 9/26.
A lot has happened since that fateful day 6 years ago. The world was forever changed days before my first child was born. I will always pause and remember the sacrafice that so many gave on that day.
Tomorrow, McKinney will host a Memorial Service at 9 am at the McKinney Public Safety Building on Taylor-Burk Drive. There will be a 21-gun salute, bagpipers and speeches fom the Mayor, Police Chief and Fire Chief.
So no matter what your day may have in store for you tomorrow...please take a moment to remember the lives that were lost and the heroes that gave everything to protect the country we love so much.
