On September 10th, Scott asked me, "You know what tomorrow is right?".
"September 11th?" I asked uncertainly.
"Yeah", he says.
And I said, "So?".
I was searching my brain for some reason he would be asking me about September 11th. I knew it wasn't our wedding anniversary, or when we met, or when he ask me to marry him. Maybe it was the day of our first kiss? No, that couldn't be it. When it finally dawned on me, I felt so stupid. I, who professes to be the most patriotic person I know, didn't even remember the significance of the day. How dumb do I feel?
I hope that on Patriot's Day, everyone took a moment to remember why we have a Patriot's Day...why we even have a country in the first place...why we should never forget those that have gone on before us in forming this country. A country still being formed, tried, and tested. And I hope that we can stand up to the test and continue to enjoy the freedom that our country grants us, even as we take it for granted.

I know what you mean about taking our country for granted. I have to remind myself of this and try not to be annoyed when the anthem plays at 5:00 pm. We are so blessed to live here!
