LIFE AT THE COTTAGE

Remembering


Remembering September 11, 2001


Remembering the nearly three thousand innocent
men, women, and children who died—


Remembering the numerous unsung heros who
responded to the emergency—


firefighters...


police officers...



emergency rescue workers...


all banches of the US military.


And remembering those who continue to put their lives on
the line daily to protect us-

THANK YOU!


Police Sgt. Joe O'Donnell (my brother-in-law)


Firefighter Lt. John Harrington (my brother-in-law)

And thank you to all the other dedicated US men and women, at home and abroad,
 who have committed their lives to serve and protect.

May God bless you and keep you in His loving care!


Linking this tribute to
Bev's Pink Saturday &
 Smiling Sally's Blue Monday.

  2. Nine years later, I am still in shock that such a horrific event happened to this wonderful country! My heart still aches for the people that suffered,and those that still suffer as a result of these MONSTERS. There were and still are so many heros that give without any regard to their own lives. A career that takes a very special person and we should thank them EVERY DAY. GOD BLESS those who lost a loved one on 9/11. GOD BLESS those who continue to serve this country, be it as a branch of our military, our law enforcement, our firefighters and all our emergency resue workers. GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!!!!!!

  11. Thank you for such a beautiful post. Thank your BIL's for their service. My son was servicing in the AF at the time. (reserves now) He went to Afhganistan soon after. In his call to me before he left he said, "Mom I need to step on the enemy's land to keep the USA safe fro my mom and my sisters". Yes, he came home safely.
    We can never forget the sacrifices others have made. Thank you again for this beautiful post.
