Fine. But don't get on my case and others like me for taking time out from kickin ass to remember why we're doing it. A little reflection and somber remembrance helps to sloidify that raw rage into a motivational driving force to see this war to the end.

I think we have the same goal but different methods of motivating ourselves.

Let's Roll!

Still there, still doing it (civi style), and what we both recognize in the long run it is not "getting on peoples' cases", but making damn sure the determination never lessens.

There are buggars out here who still muster the strength to pass, at the least, the "New Army's" standards, because we did it as kiddos growing up in rural America, we didn't need DIs, we competed our asses off just for the fun of it.

We don't originate from New York, Berkley or downtown Houston.

We are the regular guys across the country who know how to hunt and shoot and gut.

If it weren't for us, the lazy odd-natured asses in the blue range wouldn't be in the blue sectors.

The second amendment saved their blue-blood asses more than once...

SEATTLE REMEMBERS AND MOURNS
KIRO 7 - Hundreds of people marched in a 9-11 memorial procession from Westlake Park in downtown Seattle to the Seattle Center.
The procession followed a memorial service in Westlake Park where elected officials spoke and a choir from Leschi Elementary School performed.
Many in the audience carried flags. A few had signs that say, "Never Forget 9/11."

I heard about another site today on MSNBC but I neglected to grab the URL *correctly*; it is an archive of a TON of emails from that day that some schools are accumulating as an archive. Lester Holt has mentioned it twice and both time I wasn't paying close enough attention to grab it.

www.911gnu.edu or something like that.
