These words apply today, but unfortunately people have forgotten. And they do not recognize that we are fighting an enemy within that is even worse:

My brothers lie in state,
In clear waters
Of testimony, their willingness
To answer our Nation's call.

An angel bends down, whispers in my ear,
Never forget. Never forget.
Honor them. They
Gave their lives for you.
No man hath a greater love.

Do them honor. And never forget.

NEVER FORGET. From Pearl Harbor Day to 9/11 to the wastes of Al Anbar. AND HONOR AMERICA'S WARRIORS ACROSS THE GENERATIONS WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES TO ENSUTE OUR COUNTRY'S FREEDOM. NO ONE DESERVES A GREATER LOVE FROM ALL OF US THAN OUR HEROES WHO DO US PROUD IN EVERY AGE.

I haven't forgotten.

God bless those who died in 1941, through an underhanded act of cowardice by a nation which knew it couldn't get the best of us any other way than by sneaking up on us. In they end, they lost, as cowards always do.

By the same token, God bless those who died on 9-11-2001. They were also taken down by an act of cowardice. They won't win either. However, they are a bit wiser in that they will use fear, intimidation and our own laws against us. They are truly "the enemy within". More insidious, more conniving, and a greater evil than we have ever faced.

In the end, we WILL prevail.

I honestly believe that!

God bless our troops. God Bless America!

It was just posted today. As I see it, we need to remember every day for the rest of our lives and the sacrifices our troops have made on our country's behalf are timeless. Today the United States declared War on Imperial Japan in 1941. The outcome was never in doubt. Today we are engaged in just as relentless a war as has been fought in human history and some people have forgotten why we've taken up arms since 9/11. Hopefully, these verses will bring it to our attention to that we owe our lives to those who are keeping us out of danger and we are all in their eternal debt. God bless our troops and God bless the United States Of America.
