September 11, 2001, will be in our minds forever.  A Realtor friend and I were on our way to Little Rock for a day of shopping, my husband called with the news.  As soon as I arrived back in Searcy I immediately went to my church to pray, those poor families who lost their loved ones needed prayer.

There was such turmoil throughout the United States and most of the world.  The media replayed the scene over and over and over.  It will be forever etched in my mind, and I'm sure others feel  the same way.

It certainly changed the way we live!  We realize we are no longer safe in our own country. We have to be careful, to watch when we are at the airport for suspicious activity.  When I board a plane I glance around to see which passenger could be the air marshall, or the terrorist.  I'm nervous the entire flight.

A family in Bald Knob lost their daughter in the Trade Center Building.  Their lives will never be the same. That day changed the lives of us all! The families of the passengers on the planes that crashed, the families who lost loved one in the Pentagon and the Towers, their lives are forever changed.  The families of the brave firemen and policemen, lives changed forever. 

A chrisp, September day, not unlike any other, changed in the blinking of the eye!  We must never forget!
