Well this Catholic Marine is going to Mass in the morning to pray for those who have already passed and to pray for my brother Marines who about to go into combat. I hope the crucifix doesn't fall off the wall when I enter the church :-) Semper Fi

... by whatever means necessary

we have sons very soon to be of age to serve.
i would give most anything to be able to go in their stead.

failing that, i vow that if i witness an attempted terrorist incident here on our shores,
i will do everthing in my power, with whatever means present themselves,
to kill the perpetrators where they stand.

we are, each of us, the home guard ...

You've said what is repeated in my circle of friends many times. Those people will never be forgotten by me or anyone within earshot. The murdering trash that participated, supported and planned the attack on American civilians must pay. Anything less IMHO invites the death and destruction we see in Israel every evening on the news.

One cannot afford to negotiate, appease or toy with such trash. To them and the rest of the idiots who think this is the way to go about getting what they want invites and encourages more deadly attacks on non-combatants.

Support those who seek and bring to justice such animals, be they a member of the military or a peace officer on the streets of America. And stand by all who administer justice on the spot when terrorist are discovered in the act of killing American citizens.

We have to stop these bastards . We have to hit them so hard that generations to follow will think hard before they follow suit.

As you state above we must never forget those folks that died on 9-11-01. They were murdered, attacked going about their business of life in America. We can't let that go unpunished or it will happen again and again and again........

Stay Safe !

I find it funny, that the extremist left mostly, is so against remembering 9/11..

They want to ignore it. They self-loath themselves so much, and their country, that the figure we HAD to deserve it. If the toon were in office, they'd have a different.. uh, tune.

Just like the dems in congress now. With clinton, 100% support on the same stuff they now bitch about constantly.

God Bless AMERICA and keep everyone safe!
Even though I live in Australia 9/11 has affacted me deeply. Here's why:
My sister whom I hadn't seen for twelve years passed on at approx.0900hrs on 9/11/01 due to cancer of the brain.I hadn't seen her for this long due to family disagreements. I had been planning to visit her before the end of 2001.
Her birthday was on 9/11/52.My birthday is on 9/18/54
During my absence from her she developed inner ear cancer which I had no knowledge of.Because of the family differences I also had no knowledge that her funeral was on 9/18/02(I'm writing the dates to suit US format)which is my birthday.I was not told of the funeral until a week later. God must have called her at that time and date,so It's like as though she had died inpsuedo in the W.T.C. even though she in fact died in Sydney.
Now Every year I grieve her death and feel partly responsible for her death for not seeing her sooner.

Your "two bits," PsyOp, is worth a whole lot more than that. Thanks for sharing.

But we didn’t see, in real time, what the rest of the world saw - what shocked some and amused others. No. Our media decided that Americans were not grown-up enough to see it all, so they censored it for our own good. But was it for our own good?

Excellent post. Where is this footage? Is it on the web? To the lefties credit they know that if this footage is shown to the American public the question of going to war against Sadam and others would be a foregone conclusion and so by preventing its airing they probably figure they can buy time and hope the American publics anger subsides and allow the UN to dictate what action is appropriate.

I'm with you....the most fitting memorial to our fallen/murdered countrymen is more Dead Islamists and other terrorists bent on doing us harm..

Great essay.

Never forget, never forgive and never forego the task of retribution.

Spot on...stay mad, stay focused and never forget.

I will surely never forget the terror brought to us that day. I make it my responsibility that my daughter, with understanding of the facts, will never forget. Years from now when my grand children arrive I will task myself so they know the truth and will never forget.

No matter how the world bows to the politically correct and filters the blatant, murderous attack on our country, our legacy must never forget.

Never forget...hit those responsible so hard their legacy will cuss their miserable ancestors for their murderous deeds...and they too will never forget.

*bump*

This Summer my 10-year old son was very excited to learn that my uncle found in a book a photo of his ship at Iwo Jima. My boy asked my uncle all about it, and was spell-bound.

Later, he looked further into the book and found shots of the dead on the beach. He came up to me, showed me the pictures, closed the book, and with desparate eyes said, "Daddy, I don't like war."

"That's the point, baby," I told him, "That's the point."

Stay strong, America. As he will be there for you, my boy needs you.
