September 11, 2001 is a day that will forever live in
infamy. It showed the world that
monsters truly do exist and that your worst fears can find their way to our
front doorstep. I hope everyone takes a
moment today to think, to reflect, and put their lives in perspective about the
events in New York , Pennsylvania
and Washington , DC
The following is a piece that we have been sitting on for a
while because we couldn't find the proper way to do the Pustejovsky family
justice in expressing how honored we were to meet them and spend the afternoon
with them. Today felt like the right
time. Thank you again to the Pustejovsky
family, all those who attended the Bowen classic and to Wade Bowen himself for
always remembering where he came from and for supporting his neighbors.
We here at LoneStar Outlaw Review get to do some amazing
things, meet amazing people, and hear some of the best music this fine nation
has to offer. But every once in a while
even we are taken aback. While attending
the 15th annual Bowen classic we had a chance to put a face with the
horrifying devastation that took place in West, TX. In hanging around backstage with other
attendees we had the privilege of meeting the Pustejovsky family. Joe y
Pustejovsky was a first responder from the West Volunteer Fire Department and
according to his father and brother, Joe
and Brad, respectively, they knew exactly where to find him when the sirens
went off. “He was a secretary for the
city and always ready to jump into action when needed” his father said. Joe y
unfortunately did not make it out of the blaze, and also leaves behind his
wife, Kelly, mother, Carolyn, and sister-in-law Dolores. It is the brave actions of people like Joe y Pustejovsky that we should all pray to have as
friends, neighbors, and guardians in our life.
Thank you Joey and to the other victims for making the ultimate
sacrifice to keep us safe. You shall
never be forgotten.
God Bless the Fallen.
