Lest We Forget Why

July 12, 2008

I pray to God that we never forget the tragedy of 9/11 and the nearly 2,800 people who died that fateful day.

Our people should never have known the pain of a tragedy this great on our own soil. To that end I am dedicated to pay respect and tribute to the loyal men and women of the U.S. military who give their all to protect our freedom. They are giving their very lives to ensure this never happens again.

The very next time you open your mouth and you utter anything except the highest of praise for our government and the men and women who serve so well, remember that is a freedom you have that was paid for in blood. Do not take it lightly. Do not waste it.

Let the stench of death burn forever in our minds lest we forget the sacrifice of those who have gone before us. They serve so proudly, so willingly and without question. They are all truly an eternal example of American Valor at its finest.

My hat is off to them. My hand is across my heart out of respect for them when I see the flag or hear the national anthem. They are America’s finest and I thank God for them.
