The recent tragedy that came on September 11, 2001 was a blow to the world. It happened here in our beloved USA, but it involved not only the killing of Americans, but also many people from other countries who decided that they wanted to live in the land of the free and the home of the brave. To say that we were shocked that someone would dare to try and take us out on our own land, and with our own planes,  is to say that we thought that we were invincipal. To be the recipeint of such an attack is to say that those responsible will not have long to live on this earth. To say that they who are guilty of this tragedy will meet The Great Father soon is to say that it will be a short trip to him to judge them and then send their sorry backsides to their compadre in the firey hole of hell.
Why did this happen to a country which is built on the basis of freedom and bravery? How did it happen to us in the good old USA, when we should of been better prepared? And why weren't our people who are supposed to know what is going on, there on the spot, ready to take out those who would do such a cowardly act? And what are we as a country who preaches all the freedoms on mankind, going to do about it? And once we have taken the cowards out, are we going to relax and let it happen again? Those are questions that I have not only heard from others but are questions in my mind too.

Most of the people living today do not remember World War 2. Only the ones who were born in the thirties or before remember that day when we were bombed at Pearl Harbor. I remember sitting on the floor at our home and listening to President Roosevelt saying. "This Day Will Go Down In Infamy". I remember listening as our older folk worried about sending their youngsters  to fight for freedom and also for the revenge against a nation who while their people were talking in Washington, took it on themselves to bring the good old USA in the battle. Well folks, they were wrong then and they were defeated and today that group of cowards who hit and run will soon be defeated and removed from this earth.

The bad part of all that has happen is that we as victims want to label all the Islamic as bad. And that my friends is wrong. That is what those who did this act wants. They not only want to take us down in the financial sector , but also they want turmoil amoung all who exist in this great world.

Now to answer some of those questions, why did it happen? I feel that those who want to feel powerfull, want to be able to grind Americans to their knees. It won't happen. How did it happen? We were too relaxed. We never thought anyone would dare to strike us. Well, you can bet we will be prepared from now on. Where were the people who were supposed to know what was going on? Well, I can't answer that but I bet they will be on the spot from now on. What are our leaders going to do about it? Well, I think that as soon as they know for sure who is guilty and once they know that they can get them, they will go in and take them out dead or alive. Once that is done, then we as a nation who wants to remain free have to bolster up our defense and let the rest of the world know that they are either with us or against us. It is that simple.

I remember as a child when there were blackouts in our city so that planes overhead could not see any lights. Most of that was in practice so that if and when the need would arise, we would be ready. The fear never went away, but also the bravery never went away either. Most of the battles between the other countries was done on their own land and we as a nation sent our men and women overseas to fight so that our country could remain free. That is until now, and now we have to brace ourselves for whatever might happen. We as a nation of freedom and the American way have to pull together and unite into one force of people who want to remain free. It is time for the whites, the blacks, the browns, the yellows and the reds, to say that we will unite into one group to fight anyone who wants to take us out. We are all Americans and we are all God's Children. We will take care of our land and we will protect our families from those who will feel the wrath of GOD as they are sent to hell.

Those who know me real well know that I am not associated with any group either religious or polictical. I am an American. I am a Christian and I am saved. I can talk with any group as long as they don't try to change my views. I will not try to change theirs. that is what this country means to me. It gives me the freedom of speech, the right to assembly, the right to pray in my own way, and the right to vote for whoever I want. For all the years of my grown-up life, I have not been afraid to move around any where I want. I have not been afraid to go to sleep at night with the window open. I like all of you have all these freedoms to use as I see fit and I am not about to change and hide in fear because some group has tried to take us down. We must go on with life as we have for all these many years, but we need to be alert and be aware that somewhere out there some group who doesn't want to live on this earth any longer, will try to change our way of life. We should not live in fear, and we should be ready to take out those who would want us to fear them..

To all my old friends from the old days and for all those who have made my life here on this great earth,

I say GOD BLESS, and to this great country, I say GOD BLESS THE USA.

Lets' all gather together as one and remain that way after we take care of this tragedy.
