How does one non recollect near what happened in Newtown, CT.? My heart, like nigh of yours, but bleeds for the victims of this senseless criminal offence. Nosotros come to work today and endeavour not to wonder if our ain kids are safe at Anytown, USA. Nosotros may even enquire ourselves, what is the indicate? Can nosotros get dorsum to living?

I accept lived several days that I knew life would not be the same as it one time was. One of those was September 11, 2001; the day the towers fell. I was in Cincinnati, OH serving as Start Sergeant of the Recruiting Company. That day, we kept all our offices open while most of the country went dwelling house to be with family. At the end of the solar day, I drove home to my family on empty streets. As I took in the stillness rarely experienced in a major city, I realized this is the day that everything changes. I felt nosotros were no longer…Free. Three days later, I arrived at the aerodrome for a flight. I tin can still feel the sadness as I was patted down the commencement time on US soil. For years, I had witnessed armed guards doing this at airports in other countries, but not in America.

Today, I take that aforementioned feeling. That life, or at least my perspective, is changing again. I call up everyone experiences that feeling at least once. As Veterans, we may experience that several times. Of course, this is non new; every Veteran that comes to VA for intendance or services has had unique experiences that have changed them. However, that does not hateful that nosotros cannot keep living, that we cannot live a full rewarding life. We each accept much to requite to 1 another.
