Remembering Pearl Harbor and 9/11
"... December 7, 1941... a date which will live in infamy." - Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945)
"Are you guys ready? Let's roll!" - Todd Beamer, in defiance of his Al-Qaeda captors on Flight 93, September 11, 2001
On this day in 1941 at 7:45 AM, at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, our great nation was "sucker punched" by the fanatical Japanese under the leadership of Tojo.
As a result, we were plunged into an epic war with the Axis powers of Japan, Germany, and Italy, and through our resolve and strength, we, the American people, defeated these enemies of freedom and democracy.
On September 11, 2001, we were yet again "sucker punched", this time by fanatical Al-Qaeda terrorists who slammed jetliners into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. The jetliner that crashed in a Pennsylvania field that day would have taken out even more innocent lives if it weren't for the resolve of Todd Beamer and his fellow passengers on Flight 93 who "rolled" against their captors.
Today, and every day, take some time out of your day to remember those Americans who gave everything, up to and including their lives, so that we may remain a free nation.
Finally, remember those who currently serve our nation in our armed forces. With all the turmoil both on the battlefield, and even on the homefront as the Iraq situation is being hotly debated, they'd really appreciate it.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
That's all for now. Thanks for visiting and please do so often.
