A Day like no other

Today I awoke to hear that 31 men were killed when their helicopter was shot out of the sky. Not only were most of these US men, but some of the SEAL group that worked with the elite who "took care of " Osama Bin Laden. It was with sadness that I watched the news today. The days of banning myself from the one sided news media couldn't keep me from wanting details on the loss of so many men. I knew that this was a bigger loss than the one in 2005 when the US sent in a team to retrieve 4 SEALS & was shot down. Today seemed ominous. I attended my box packing for the troops with my group Cypress Cares and then came home. I had planned to attend my 20 year reunion, but just couldn't bring myself to want to go. How could I and enjoy myself?! I knew I couldn't.

Today a parent received a phone call, saw the news or received a knock on the door and today their world will have changed forever!! God Bless those men and their family's for their sacrifice.
