9/11 Rememberence

...is all I will be blogging today. Plus a few other 9/11 related tidbits. Since every other blog out there has what I am certain are a ton of pictures of the actual attacks I will spare you more. Other than to remind you that our attackers drove three planes into American targets and are trying even as I write these words to come up with a plot that will again succeed the way 2001 did. So first lets look at the spirit of America and remember the victims:
















We were attacked by people who hate us, who hate our way of life, our religon's, our liberty. We find ourselves now at a most unique point in the history of this country where men and women will look back on it and we will be judged. Will we stand in the face of death and evil or will we shrink back in fear and say, "its ok, as long as they don't hurt us", until once again inevitably they do. Fortunately, we have a President who, no matter what his detractors may say about him is commited to standing and fighting. Unlike other world leaders who talk like they want to stop the terrorists then do nothing, our's is singularly committed to fight for as long as it take to get the job done:

We will not waver and we will not shrink back. The most chilling thing is however, that there are those who just ... don't ... get it

So we remember somberly the five years that have passed between then and now and the sacrifices made in the name of our God and country both here and abroad. We are a unique nation among the others of the world, we are "the" example for other countries who aspire to be free republics. What must they think when they look at us and see things like this and this.

We have a responsibility to be accountable for the great freedoms we have here and to not let slip the sacrifice in blood that thousands of great heroic men and women have made so that you and I can live, work and raise families here in America.

I pray for comfort in the lives of the familes who lost loved ones today, for the brave military persons who have lost their lives in the line of fire and for any who would put their job,life, family on the line for something greater than themselves!

I salute You!!!
