It’s hard to believe that it has been ten years since the attacks of September 11, 2001. Today we pray for all of the victims, those who sacrificed themselves for the safety of others, our armed forces protecting our freedom, and all of the families of these people. We also pray for all of the citizens of America that we may uphold our country’s dignity.

God Bless America!
