History books will be written, and May 1, 2011 will be recorded as the day of rejoicing and jubilation in America. This is said because of the event which took place in Pakistan, regarding our homeland security.
The man who masterminded the deadly attack, which killed around 3,000 men, women, and children at the World Trade Center in N.Y. City, Osama bin Laden, is dead.
We praise our Commander-in-Chief, the President of the United States, for making this a number one priority and sending our ground troops to target the mansion where bin Laden was living in Pakistan.
We marvel at the dedication of our U.S. Troops, and we ask God to protect them as they continue to fight for our freedom. God bless our Troops overseas, and wherever they are.

Jordan chose to go to a community college in Gallatin. After two years in college, he enrolled in the Technical School in Murfreesboro and trained in tool and die. He has a good position in Cookeville. Jordan married Nicole Linn last year. Nicole holds a degree in nursing from Tenn. Tech., Cookeville and has a nursing position in the new hospital in Murfreesboro.
Justin attended MTSU in Murfreesboro and holds a pre-pharmacy degree. He enrolled in Pharmacy School  at U.T. Memphis. He is doing his rotation at U.T. Knoxville Hospital where, at present, works in the Trauma Unit.
Justin will receive his Doctorate in Pharmacy from U.T. Memphis, May 2012.
Congratulations to these nice young gentlemen, who we think chose their life’s vocation wisely and worked hard to reach their goals in life.
Their love for each other, home, church, community, and God’s great outdoors are still the center of their livelihood.
May God continue to share his love and mercy upon Justin and Jordan.
