The picture is great. It says so much. Destruction is in the background, but defeat does not prevail. It's light out, the rescuers, men working together to save America, are restoring the nation's flag, our symbol of honor, peace, integrity, and strength. We aren't watching some plane blow the shit out of a building and destroy both it and those inside, we're seeing Americans work together to save and make our nation an even better place than it was before.
Bush, his administration, and our military are now advancing that cause while others dwell on the negative pictures and criticize the effort. Consider the damage done by the terrorists and the Rats seem to want to protect them! They certainly have no appreciation in the flag raising picture.
We must improve our nation as our founders saw fit and allow it to be decimated in this fashion.
I didn't see this post while I was writing my #24, but your words captured my thoughts.
