It's been 5 years since the planes crashed into the Twin Towers and Pentagon and that Pennsylvania field. We lived in Germany at the time and I remember being so frightened and wondering what lie ahead. I never felt disconnected from the sadness. This was not something we recovered from quickly. I think we've returned to a normalcy but our new normal includes two wars on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan and a global change in how we travel. Today when the time arrives to stop and remember those who died on that fateful day I'll pray for their loved ones, their children and families they left behind and for our soldiers who bravely fight each day. I'll be thankful for the freedoms I have and for the life I lead. I'll be proud to be an American.
