9/11 Tribute

We Remember!

We Pray!

We Forgive!

We Defend Our Freedom!

"We are cracked and chipped from our afflictions on all sides, but we are not crushed by them. We are bewildered at times, but we do not give in to despair. We are persecuted, but we have not been abandoned. We have been knocked down, but we are not destroyed." --2 Corinthians 4:8-9

#NeverForget

Hero comes from a different type, both human and animals. 

This is the tribute for our four legged heroes of 9/11

We thank you and love you both handlers and dogs!

My own collage that I made to remember this event (top left to the right, clockwise).

Images are taken from Google. I could not remember each pictures sources, but I remember searching the keyword 9/11 attack images.

We are praying for the families/friends of those who lost their loved ones on 9/11 (and because of/since 9/11). We will never forget and words will never be able to express our love for all of you.

We also wanted to thank those who served and are still fighting (Military Men/Women, Law Enforcement, Firefighters, etc) for our freedom and to make sure that no family would have to go through this senseless terrorist attack again.

A Sad Day For The Navy SEALs

via

Aug. 6, 2011

A helicopter was shot down today by Afghan insurgents as it was rushing to aid troops in a firefight, killing 30 Americans, including 22 Navy SEALs, most of whom belonged to Team 6, the unit whose members were involved in the raid that killed Osama bin Laden, U.S. officials said.

The Chinook helicopter was carrying a quick-reaction force to provide back-up to the troops on the ground in the eastern Afghan province of Wardak, a U.S. official said. After the crash, the forces that were involved in the firefight "broke contact" with the enemy so they could go provide perimeter security for the crash site, the official said. click here for a complete story

That was the news I read and heard yesterday morning. It was a sad week for me, personally, because the day before I just read the news about 10 people killed in a helicopter crashed in my hometown in Manado, North Sulawesi. There were 2 Australian, 2 South Africans, 6 Indonesian and one of them is a Manadonese. The complete story, click here.

I am a proud Navy wife and the news about the death of the 22 Navy Seals, seven members of the Afghan National Army, one dog handler, a military working dog, an interpreter and an unknown number of crew were also on board the downed helicopter, was a hard and sad news. But, there are things that is out of our control as a human. Its hard for us, human, with our limitation, to understand the "why or what" certain things happened in our lives. No matter how smart, rich, powerful we are. We are just a human being and we are limited.

What we can do is to pray for the families and friends who lost their loved ones in these incidents. We can also support the Navy Seal Foundation, click here for more information http://www.nswfoundation.org/

Rest In Peace my heroes! Rest in God's loving arms forever. Please pray for their families as they face the hardest day of their lives. May God gives you all strength, comfort and hope to face tomorrow. One step at a time. God will never forsaken you, family! Words will never be enough to express our love and gratitude for your ultimate sacrifice.

This is one video of one of the Seal who died. Aaron Vaughn, your life and death has blessed me beyond words. Rest In God's arms and embrace His love :)

These are the complete names of those who died. Please do not forget the Afghan's special forces and their families who died alongside with our troops.
