Hey look → BAFF

Check this out! Is this a great idea or what? I'm all for new ways to support our troops and I'm defiantly gonna do this. 

bff celebrates the unique and unconditional support friends have for each other through good times and bad. Together with the American Freedom Foundation, we are now able to help America connect with friends in the military! This pair of bff bracelets will create a bond of awareness and appreciation for our baff’s (best armed forces friends)!


Pass it on y'all!

Lest We Forget...

...the men and women who lost their lives in the attack on America, September 11, 2001.

~~~*~~~


I remember that day. We were at home awaiting out language teacher. We had been in Croatia just over a year and we were finally over the blunt of the culture shock.


We readied our books and things and decided to take the next 30 minutes to watch some Fox News. As we turned on the TV we were shocked into silence. Was this really happening? What does this mean for us. Where's the number to the embassy? We were scared and dismayed.


The door bell rang and shocked us back to reality. Svjetlana, our tutor was here and as quickly as she walked into the living room and seen what was going on tears began to stream down her face. She said it reminder her so much of the Bosnian wars of which she was part.


We all sat in silence and watched yet another plane hit the tower in real time. It almost felt
like the world, as we knew it, had been shaken and it had.



Anyway, this is where I was on September 11th and I'll never forget.
