Eleven Years Since 9/11/2001 – Never Forget!

It’s now going on 11 years since America was attacked by dirt bag Islamic extremists that  murdered, with careful premeditation, on American soil, almost 3000 innocent people, most of them American citizens.

Yet the liberal media — our trustworthy keepers of history and purveyors of all truths —-  would rather not talk about it, because they don’t think the American people can “handle” being reminded of this horrific event.  It’ll just breed intolerance, bigotry and continuing “misunderstanding” of those that subscribe to the “religion of peace”.  In past years if they referred to it at all, it’s in the context of “why did they do this?” and “what has America done to anger them so?”. To this day they (and the current administration on whose lap they sit) still won’t acknowledge that the Fort Hood Massacre of 2009 was a terrorist attack perp’d by another  islamic extremist….just another act of “workplace violence”, they say.

A good friend of mine, Dr. G, whose comments and thoughts I often share with our readers, wrote to me a couple of years ago on the 8th anniversary of 9/11:

Too many Americans appear to have forgotten what this is all about.  “Don’t forget 9/11/01” is a message that’s being lost in the rancor of partisan hatefulness that has consumed us instead.  We doubt why we fight.  We seem to believe we have a higher responsibility than preserving ourselves.  We behave as though wishing it away will make it so.

I remember the moment it happened.  Kathryn was dressing in the bedroom, and I was in my home office a few yards away, when she called out, “Jerry, you’ve got to come here.”  I ran to her to find the bedroom TV showing the initial strike of the first tower.  Dumfounded by what I saw, like millions of others, the second strike, and then, in time, the collapses.  Nobody then knew for sure what the terrible truth was, but like millions of us, I knew immediately…..From that moment my heart was fixed in darkness.

I am but one man.  I can make nothing happen beyond my own life.  For myself, I pledged that day never to forget, never to forgive, nor to be unwilling to fight those who did this monstrous thing, whatever it takes.  For all the talk about loving one’s enemy, I’m not that good a person….    There are many such [evil people] left….and many of them reside in America among us….and in London, and Stockholm, and Copenhagen, and Frankfurt, and Rome….the list goes on.

The Fight must go on, or it will happen again.

If you can “handle being reminded”, please go to this web site for a shocking presentation of the events of that day.  Also, you might want to refer to this article published here last year, on the 10^th anniversary of 9/11, for a first hand account by one of “our own” who was in New York City on that horrible day.

Indeed, Never Forget!
