I really don’t care if everyone remembers what they were doing or where they were on 9-11-2001. I think it is more important that we remember we were attacked without provocation by islamic terrorists. They attacked because they do not value life, liberty or the pursuit of happiness. They wanted to destroy our way of life. They still do. Islam is not a religion of peace despite what the media and apologists would have you believe. I will defend anyone's right to practice their religion as long as their religion does not harm or impede anyone's ability to practice their religion. I do not believe the islamic religion falls into that category.

Here it is eight years later and there has not been a single attack on our soil. Why you ask? Because rough men stand ready to do harm on our behalf. We have brought the fight to the enemy. I for one would rather fight the enemy over there rather than over here.  And yes I know something about that as my oldest son is over there as I write this. If our enemy, radical Islamic terrorists, were reasonable men things might be different. So, until the time that this enemy can be defeated I am afraid this is how things will be.

I am thankful, for those warriors who have chosen to serve our country and defend our way of life. I am ever grateful to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice defending our freedom. I don’t know that it is a debt that can be repaid in any way other than doing what each of us can to maintain this country, our way of life and the freedom we so cherish.

Saying that, it is my prayer that we elect leaders that will defend the constitution of the United States of America. Political parties mean very little anymore and we MUST hold all of our elected officials accountable. We have to look at the individual and the strength of their character. We can exercise term limits by exercising our voices and our votes. Let us commit to using both this coming election cycle. By exercising our vote in such a way we are, in fact, repaying that debt. Think about that this coming election season. Stand up for your principles and be heard.

God Bless our Armed Forces and God Bless the United States of America!
