My daughter had an interesting assignment to complete for school. She was to "write" her autobiography. Many, many hours went into preparing this presentation. Of course, she needed my help to capture the first few years of her life. I was able to show her the newspaper from the day she was born, 1/29/91. The headlines read "Operation Desert Storm", and I explained to her about what went on during that time.

For a 10 year old, she is a pretty smart cookie, if I do say so myself . Anyway, as she was writing, she explained her understanding of the world status at the time she came into the world, and ended her autobiography by putting a newspaper article from Sept 11, 2001 at the end.

Our children don't understand war, I don't understand war, but I definitely think that the war on "whoever" is a necessary thing right now. In my mind, we are at "war" with whoever is responsible for the tragedy that happened right here in our country. And I guess for the first time in my 39 years, it isn't obvious who it is.

I pray that our soldiers will be safe and I thank God for them every single day.
