Tonight I watched one of the seemingly endless shows on 9-11. As I watched again at the destruction and death inflicted on our nation that day I am angered. Angered at the enemy and angered that as a nation we have forgotten so quickly. My son walked in the room and asked me why was the building falling in the city. i told him the bad guys had killed a lot of people and they crashed an airplane into the building. He turned to look at me and replied, did the bad guys die? I told him yes, but there were more that wanted to hurt us. He looked up at me and said, That’s okay Daddy, you are a soldier and will protect me.”
Son, that’s right. The men and women of our armed forces are continuiing to take this fight to the enemy’s door. Regardless of the politics, we are focused on the mission. Those in uniform understand that this fight must be fought so our families can live without fear.
