September 11th - Patriot Day

It has been a long time since we have posted anything on our blog. What a long and busy summer. However, if today isn't a day worthy of a post, then no day is worthy.

On this day eight years ago, our world, our country and our lives changed forever. Over 3,000 innocent men, women and children were killed in a senseless and barbaric attack on our freedoms and way of life. This country rose to the occasion and has fought valiantly. The men and women in our military, as well as our first responders, continue to fight valiantly on the front lines abroad and at home.

Yet many in America have forgotten about this day. Not that the attacks occurred, but what we felt after the attacks - a sense of unity, purpose, resolve and love for this country. We are no longer united, we (mostly our politicians) have forgotten the purpose and have lost our resolve to fight what we all knew was going to be a long and sacrificial fight.

Today, we at Shining Star Flags & Bandanas honor all of those killed in the 9/11 attacks, their families and our military personnel and first responders who risk their lives everyday to keep Americans safe. We remember, we will not forget....
