Do You Remember?

This may be a day late to write this. I was at the lake until today. But I want to write somewhat of a 'patriotic' note. Most people on facebook, blogspot, or myspace will not remember the Pearl Harbor attacks, and obviously no one on here was alive for the 'Civil War' (whatever you call that war), and the Revolutionary War. But we know that they happened and we know that they are part of America history, whether good or bad, and somehow affect us today.But most people on these different blog sites over the web do recall the 9/11/01 attacks real well. What happened on that Tuesday morning affect us today. It affects foreign relations with us and otehr nations; it affects the way we vote at the polls; and it has resulted in the loss of many lives.But even at this Memorial Day season, much less any other time of the year, we seem not to remember the day, or any other important day, for good or for bad, in our nations history. There are people, some very close to me and/or my friends who are fighting now for this nation. This is not to make a pro or an anti-war statement, but a pro-America statement. I do believe however that if we gather up what should be our feelings of our nation, and of what happened on 9/11/01, then our feelings on the war would be more uniform through the nation, and probably closer to being right. On September 11, 2001, grown men with families to take care of wanted to go into other nations and kick some butt. There was emotion, but true emotion, while there also being class, faith, and common sense. We would work together to destroy the enemy. Now, we are trying to be politically correct about war, terrorism, etc. that we lose sight of what is really important. Once again, this is not making a pro-war statement. I do feel that in looking on that day the way we should we would know that there is an enemy to be destroyed. The way about doing that can still be in debate.So in closing, do you remember that day? The day when grown men cried; the day when we read our Bibles instead of porno's; the day when church was also held on Tuesday night, instead of just Sunday and Wednesday; the day when more people bought guns than people complaining about the dangers of guns; the day when 'liberal' and 'conservative' was not mentioned; the day when proffesional musicians would write write a song about America off of instinct, instead of buying the rights to a recent song; the day when the President could talk about his personal faith, and how it affects his term in office, and people would apploud; the day when Christian united together, and atheists had no form of community, and no one would run to atheist hotlines for help, but to God; and to sum it all up, the day when we were truly united as one nation under God. It was as if we had come so close to hell while also coming as close to heaven as we have ever been in a while. I was only eleven then, and I didn't realize the affects of that day then, but I am starting to more and more. However for most people it is opposite. They realized what happened then, but began to forget. But we should not forget. No politician, and no normal, every-day citizen either.God bless our troops, and God bless America. I hope this helps you remember what happened that Tuesday in September of 2001. God bless this great nation.
