9/11--WE SHOULD NEVER FORGET

Technorati Profile
I attended a 9/11 memorial this morning. It was raining pretty hard here in Warwick. The universe was in tears. I cried through much of it. American Legion sponsored it and Veterans of Foreign Wars made up the color guard. Members of the NYFD were there. Policemen. Emergency Service Workers. The EMTs got a call and had to leave in the middle. Warwick lost eight people that day, yet there are calls of "Enough is enough." At the end the Commander said that there will be memorial services each year on this date in this place as long as there is anyone to lead them.

We lowered our flag to half staff before we left for the service. Not even the town's flag was lowered. Disgraceful.

Ben Winstanley, a local politician, said it right in a very impressive speech reminding us of the terrorists--the cowards--who commited this heinous crime against us, and he exhorted us to NEVER FORGET and work to make sure it never happens again. He reminded us, also, that Osama bin Laden's tape warned us that to stop their acts, we must all accept Islam. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf, and Chamberlain still appeased him. We needed the Japanese to attack us at Pearl Harbor losing 2,333 lives before we listened.

We better believe Ben and not give up the fight as I heard those sanctimonious, self-serving Democrats like Congressmen Skelton and Wexler suggest yesterday as they persecuted and assailed General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker. I heard it this morning as John Kerry and Barbara Boxer drooled their ignorance in front of these same esteemed Americans. Kerry compared Iraq to Viet Nam (how ironic is that?). For a different reason Viet Nam is like Iraq. Once Congress took over, it became a failure, a military defeat, and a disgrace for our country. Now they're at it again, and we will reap the same harvest. It's just so obvious that they want defeat so they can ensure the next presidential election is theirs. Assailing the General and the Ambassador is despicable. What a view that sends to the rest of the world! If our enemies are watching, they've got smiles on their faces.
