As we have reached the 10 year anniversary of September 11th, I wanted to share a few of my feelings about this day. Since its my blog, I get to do that - if you don't like it, you don't have to read. So here goes:
This event marks the greatest tragedy of our generation. Seeing the footage and watching the video makes me angry. It makes me angry that some guy somewhere decided to end the lives of a whole bunch of innocent people because he had a grudge against the policies of our government. Look, I don't agree with all of the policies of our government either, but this nonsense is like me killing a guys kids because I don't like what their father did. Its absurd, and just flat out wrong.
Every man and woman serviceperson who is fighting in wars abroad volunteered to do so - they willingly became of part of this conflict. The folks who died in the World Trade Center towers (both those in the towers and those first responders on the ground), the Pentagon, and out in a field in Pennsylvania (United 93's passengers) did NOT. You may not personally agree with the politics of the war, but by God, if you want to call yourself an American, you better support and honor the sacrifices of the people who died that day, and every day since fighting for what America stands for.
Never forgotten. Always grateful. Remember 9/11.
