I have always heard from lots of older people and they could always say that they remembered exactly where they were when Pearl Harbor was attacked or when Kennedy was shot. I was always amazed at their memory. I never in a million years imagined that somthing like that would ever happen in my lifetime. But yet five years later I can remember exactly where I was, and exactly where I was the day before.
On Sept. 10, 2001 I went to Disneyland, it was with a friend for his birthday. I was 13. That night we stayed in a hotel and the next morning we woke up, turned on the T.V. and saw the first tower burning. We didn't really know what was going on than a few minutes later the second plane hit, than the Pentagon, then United 93. It was then that we knew exactly what it was. I know because for whatever reason I remembered the Pearl Harbor attack. (maybe it was because the movie had come out that year and I just remembered it from that. I really don't know why.) I know we just sat there watching, not really knowing what to do, we were scared at the time because we were in L.A. and not really sure if something would happen there as well.
Everybody should remember that day. It needs to remembered. We have to know what we are fighting for.
HOOAH!!! that is why we take the fight to the terrorists. Because if we didn't fight in Afghanistan and Iraq, we would be fighting in New York, L.A. and Chicago. I know that some people don't think that it is worth fighting for. Afganistan is 100% legit. It's Iraq that's drawing the controversy. I personnaly feel that we should only be in Adganistan right now. Yes, Saddam is evil and needed to be brought to justice, but that wasn't the battle that needed fighting right now. Avenging 9/11 in Afganistan with finding Osama and bringing him to justice is. It is impossible to fight a war on an ideal, especially one that has been around since the dawn of time. But all they have to do is open thir eyes to the threat and realize that there are people who want all of us dead or subject to their oppression. Honestly, (again, IMO) we were in less danger before we invaded Iraq than we are now. Plus, alot of the "alternitive" interigation techniques that Bush is using, were at one time declared "torture" by this very country. How is ok for us to do it, but not those that we concider "enemies"? And I know that some people want to forget that day as much as possible. Those who want to forget it should be ashamed...we must never forget To not have it brought up, to not think about. But I want to. I want to remember why we are in this war. I want to remember that there are people in this world that will go to any means to kill innocent people because they are free Americans.
I don't exactly call myself a hardline Republican. But I know that this war is necessary, that we have to defeat this enemy. What enemy? The only 'enemy' that we have in this war are 'terrorists'...again, waging war on an ideal is a lose-lose scenario They are evil incarnate. And when good people stand by and do nothing, they are no better. I never, ever forget that day, even though I have very little connection to it (I have a cousin and a few friends in the military) I have seen what has happened to our not so distant past of the 20th century. I don't want that to happen now. Its to dangerous.
God Bless America HOOAH!!!
God Bless our troops F***ING HOOAH!!!
God Bless President Bush and our leaders Um, not Bush...I'll leave my true comments about that to myself
And may God be with the families of those who lost a loved one that day. HOOAH!!!
