Never Forget

To all,

It is past midnight where I am and so it is 9-11. I can vividly recall waking at nine am that morning and not knowing why I had woken. I got a call from a friend who said I know why you are awake and he asked me to turn on the news. I would like to say that I was stunned or shocked but I was more sad than anything else for the waste of life. My other concern was that my wife was out of the country. When I discovered that the attack was by Islamic Jyhadists I was angry more at my country’s own apathy toward a threat that has its roots more in Nazism than actual modern Islam than I was scared of an invasion. I said to my self let them come. Half my family being of Eastern Europe in my blood I hold the genes of those who slaughtered Turks in ages past. I know that it is fashionable to try to understand these Jyhadists and say that they have cause but in truth any one can justify any thing in there own minds.The current president has kept the country save and given the short attention span of our world most don’t recall what all the fuss was about. I for one will never forget, I remember the waste of life. I remember the fact that it is not an attack to not submit a faith you think false. I remember that in ages past those of my blood fought these animals and would have ended them were it not for the lack of support by the people. I remember that my country was built by rebels like me who sought to be true to themselves and built a nation where others could do so as long as the path of one individual do not encumber another. Many in this country right now are broken and treasonous about the war on terror but I am not one of those. I will not forget, my blade is sharp and it stands ready. I wish ill to none save those who would seek my death and those I love for not submitting to there way of life. 9-11 to me is up there with the fourth of July. On the fourth of July innocent men spilled there blood to found a nation in ages past blood was spilled to forge a covenant. On the fourth innocent men chose to spill there own blood. On 9-11 innocent blood was spilled in an afront to life. In my view this is a new covenant for the USA that we recall our founding and act like the rebel warriors we are!
Yours in Shadow,
