For a brief moment, the whole United States and the western world stood United. Knowing our petty differences meant nothing compared with combing the evil coming from the Middle East. The things United States is capable of is immeasurable. I sure hope that we can come together again sometime soon just to see what we are capable of.

Hey Democrats, what happened to “never forget“?

Brian unfortunately we are a "Nation Divided" and by those who have chosen financial wealth over serving their Country.

Great Article retired Commander Smith "The captain quickly put things into perspective.

My grandfather landed on the beaches of Normandy during World War II. My captain told me that a man who had helped liberate the free world deserved to have his grandson standing at his funeral in dress blues, honoring his life, his service, and the legacy he had left behind in another generation serving his country."

You need to honor your family member who served in any war especially your Grandfather.

A dark day indeed. Those of us who remember that fateful day recall exactly where we were and what we were doing. Much like the assassination of JFK, or the tragic flight of Challenger, everyone has a story as to where they were.

We didn’t choose this fight, it was forced upon us. I would suggest that fight is not over and rages today. That struggle being with a 4th century faith and their associated twisted ideology. Can western countries cope with a population that openly supports and plots against our Judeo- Christian beliefs? How is it then we can elect foreign nationals to our elected offices which subscribes to this sinister cult?

This is WHY we fight today against the head of the the serpent, Iran.

As the passengers and crew of United Flight #93, facing certain death in Shanksville, PA., famously said before they attempted to breech the cockpit and overtake the terrorists, “Let’s roll.”

The full story has yet to be told as to the criminal involvement, be it funding, and operational conspiracy with the Saudi Royal Family.

I drive an old Toyota. On its license plate is a gold star. That gold star represents a man who left for Afghanistan weighing roughly 219 pounds and returned in a box weighing roughly 67 pounds. I will never forget.

The day cowards attacked civilians.

That should read “combating the evil”
