Today our fellow Aggies honored the fallen men and women who lost their lives in the tragic terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001. Eight years have passed, and I still get goosebumps at the thought of the innocent blood that was shed by the people in the twin towers and the lives sacrificed by the brave firefighters and police officers that went in to save those lost in the rubble. I remember the wave of patriotism that spread over the country as our freedoms (life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) were at stake, and the songs, advertisements, etc that ensued; encouraging us to be thankful that we live in such a grand country as America. But in retrospect, I can't help but be more thankful for innocent blood of Christ, who sacrificed his life to save us from Death - who gives us freedom forever and ever and ever.
I hope that today, as you take a moment to remember those who died on September 11, that you also praise our grand and mighty God for sending his son here on earth with the sole purpose of living and dying so that we could have eternal freedom.
