9/11 - May We Never Forget

"So the MSM wants to see bodies?"

So starts Michelle Malkin in her blog today, entitled "Never, Never Forget".  She goes on to eloquently spell out the thoughts that I wish to echo.  I could not have done better myself.

The left today would like to water down that day 4 years ago.  Asking us to understand what the other side is going through.  To understand what led them to this.

I cannot.  I will not.

Pictures from that day of buildings, planes, and vehicles I can stomach.  For awhile.  Until I am reminded of the people in those buildings, planes, ahd vehicles.  Suffering in a hell that I cannot imagine.  All this simply because they were there.

The Hansons, pictured above, perished on United Airlines flight 175.  Christine Lee Hanson, the daughter, was the youngest victim of 9/11.  She was 2 1/2 years old.  Now it gets personal.

One of my granddaughters was also 2 1/2 at the time of 9/11.  Now it's real personal. 

I close with a statement from Ronald Reagan, posted and quoted by Air Force Staff Seargent Jay, at "Stop the ACLU":

“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, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”

To all those defending our freedom, THANK YOU.  Thank you for your service.  The words thank you pale in comparison to the service you are providing.  But thank you.

Thank you, Colonel. I am saddened that the left so badly doesn't get this. Makes it totally impossible to discuss with them at all.

We won't give up.
