Sons of Anarchy 9/11

As season 5 of Sons of Anarchy begins on September 11, 2012 we also need to remember the most important thing of that day: The terorist attack on The United States of America!

Do you remember where you were that awful day in one of the worst days of American history? I was at work and received a phone call from a friend telling me that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center.  As I looked around I saw co workers answering their phones and getting the same news from a family member.

Some of us went out into the waiting room and watched the second plane hit the second tower and our mouths fell to the ground.  As I looked around the room I saw tears on every ones faces.  Tears of disbelieve, tears of shock, tears of sadness for all the people who perished in those moments we sat watching.  Nothing like this happens in the United States of America.  We are invincible.

Finally the call came from the governors office that we could go home to our loves ones.  I went straight to my parents house as I wanted to be with them if anything happened to us.  As I walked into the hallway I can still see my father sitting on the reckroom couch watching the news coverage.  My mom soon joined us.  Then we had to make the calls.  My brother is in the Air Force and we have several cousins that were in the Marines and the Army. Two cousins working in the Pentagon area. 

Making those calls seemed to take forever.  Everyone was safe and accounted for. The days that followed for America were gut wrenching.  So many innocent people died, so many children lost their parents, mothers and fathers lost their adult children. Pregnant women had to come to terms with the fact that their unborn babies would never know their fathers.As we were not prepared for 9/11 we were not prepared for what happened afterwards.  Sending our brothers, our sons, our husbands, our boyfriends to war! So many young and innocent men lost their lives so that we let world know that we The United States of America will not tolerate nor accept terrorism in our country  We will not let the bad guys win.  A lot of men lost their limbs and their lives to protect us and the world from the bad guys.


So this September 11, 2012 when you sit down to watch the season premier of Sons of  Anarchy at 10:00pm Eastern time take a minute and say a prayer for all the men and women who defended our country and gave their lives for each and everyone of us.People ask me why I love this show and I tell them it is a feel good show! They look at me like I am half nuts. But what they don't realize is that they are a brotherhood that have each others backs no matter what the circumstances are. And I think that is something we take for granted with one another. No matter if it is your brother, sister, cousin, friend in the end it is all about protecting one another, no matter what the circumstances.


So enjoy the premier and I will be back throughout the season to talk more about my all time favorite show. I just don't want anyone to forget 9/11!
