A 9/11 Message from my Team Leader

I want to share this message that my Team Leader, Matt Erdmann sent out to our market center this morning. At the age of 31, he is someone who really “gets” what is important in life. I am truly proud and blessed to work for him … as you’ll see.

“No matter how many years pass today is a day that we should all pause and take a minute to be thankful for everything that we have in our lives and everyone who has sacrificed to allow us to live those lives. We should pause and be thankful for our families, our jobs, our homes, our blessing and our challenges. We should pause to recognize and be thankful for every freedom we have, every decision we’ve been free to make in our lives and every breath of air we have the privilege to breathe! On this day in 2001 2,993 people lost that privilege and in the shadow of that terrible event our country came together in a way that I had never seem in my short life! For a moment we forgot about politics and racial, gender, or economic divides. Everything else became insignificant. I was in Fort Dicks New Jersey training to deploy to Bosnia on a peace keeping mission on September 11th 2001. I was on a shooting range firing 50 cal rifles at old tanks when the range was called to a cease fire. We where ushered into the bleachers and told to “wait one.” Our range Sergeant came back and told us that a plane just flew into the world trade center. We were all convinced it was some sort of a training exercise. A few minutes later there we were…about 30 guys gathered around a battery operated rabbit eared 8 inch TV watching the aftermath live on TV. We were speechless. I remember going to sleep that night in the barracks and thinking that at that exact moment as I lay there comfortable in my bunk in the darkness of my quarters there were people struggling for air in a totally different kind of darkness. I could not help but imagine the feeling of hopelessness that must come with that kind of a situation. Since that day thousands more of our citizens have given their lives to protect us from that feeling of hopelessness! These are people just like you and me…with families, hobbies, hopes, dreams and civilian lives. Those citizens and their families paid the ultimate price to protect our way of life! We should all, if not everyday at least today, make a conscious effort to remember their sacrifices and the incredible patriotism that rose from the ashes of that terrible day…take a deep breath and say thank you! Kiss your wife or husband, hug your kids, call your parents for no reason, pull into your driveway slowly when you get home tonight and look at your home…however magnificent or dilapidated it might be…then take another deep breathe and be thankful for all of it!!!!!!!! There is no nation with more to be thankful for than us!!!”
