It's 9/11. Eleven years ago, the United States was attacked by those who thought
we were soft. Those who thought we would accede to their demands if they brought
us harm, with the threat to do more. They thought they had seen it before. They
were wrong.
So, today, no partisan politics, no matter how egregious the
provocation. This is a day of remembrance. Tomorrow is another day. But for
2,996 of our citizens, tomorrow didn't come, on this date, eleven years ago.
Most of them were not heroes. Some of them were.
And today, we pause to
remember them, and to consider the evil of our enemies, who kill men, and women,
and children with equal dispassion, to acknowledge once again the cowardice of
those who would wage war against us, but were too cowardly to attack our
military, attacking unarmed civilians instead.
And we pray for the souls
of those lives cut short, and for the lives of those first responders who, even
now are seeing their lives cut short by illness brought about in the hell of the
dust and smoke.
We should remember what happened that day, and why it
happened, and vow that, if it be within our power, that it never happen again.
I'm just an individual who hopes to inspire but not impose his views on others. I seek not to convince but only hope that my words are written well enough to get others to delve deeper into their own thoughts and ideas. I am sincere in all that I say but never so serious as to not listen to the ideas of others
