Week 34: Chosen Family #52Ancestors

Nineteen years ago, the world changed forever. 

 Nineteen years ago, 2,977 people died and more than 6,000 were injured.

 Nineteen years ago, roughly 150 members of Congress came together on the front steps of the Capitol broke into an impromptu rendition of “God Bless America.”

 Nineteen years ago, these leaders stood strong and united and provided inspiration to the Nation. 

 That is the family I choose.

 Peace, my brothers and sisters.
