Let Us Remember...

Let Us Remember...

"A great people has been moved to defend a great nation. Terrorist attacks can shake the foundations of our biggest buildings, but they cannot touch the foundation of America. These acts shattered steel, but they cannot dent the steel of American resolve.
America was targeted for attack because we're the brightest beacon for freedom and opportunity in the world. And no one will keep that light from shining.
Today, our nation saw evil, the very worst of human nature. And we responded with the best of America"- George W. Bush
"I can hear you, the rest of the world hears you. And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon. I want justice. When I take action, I’m not going to fire a $2 million missile at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt. It’s going to be decisive."-George W. Bush

Let Us Remember...
What stood there before...










Let Us Remember...
What happened that day...

































Let Us Remember...
Who did this...


and how they celebrated in the streets...



As difficult as it may be...
We must continue to look at these images...
We must promise to make our children see these images, so their children will understand...

That as a nation and a people, we have fed the world and freed the world,
while standing intolerant of intolerance.
They have counted on America to be passive, but they are wrong.
We must teach them to understand that war does not determine who is RIGHT...
war determines who is LEFT...
And our best defense is strength, with weapons so feared, that they are never used.

Let us Remember...
The Heroes....
