9/11/01 Never Forget

Once again we have come to the anniversary of the attack on America. I see this date as a day of reverence and remembrance. This year we are seeing an attempt to build a mosque near the sight of ground zero. The Imam that is building this mosque claims it has nothing to do with the attack on 9/11, but will not move it. I believe that the location and the fact they want to dedicate it on the 10th anniversary of the attack is a slap in the face to America and the fallen Americans at ground Zero.
We are asked not to judge all Islamic people by the actions of a few radicals, yet

the Islamic world is threatening all Americans over one radical preacher that wants to burn a Koran in Florida. Our president and 99.9% of all Americans have denounced this action yet the peaceful religion of Islam threatens our people and country. I believe both the Imam and the Preacher have the right to do what they want but, if they were the men of God each claims to be they would do what is right.

We are still the greatest country in the world. Our current administration does not believe in the type of defence that made us the only remaining super power in the world. In the words of Ronald Reagan " Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected and handed on for them to do the same."

America is the protector of much of the world and financially support most of it. We are taken for granted mocked for our efforts. I don't care if we are respected out of need or fear but it is time we demand the respect we deserve. I know I am preaching to the choir but every once in a while I need to let it out.

Please take this day to remember all who have sacrificed for out freedom. God bless America and all who protect and defend it.
