That Other Day Of Infamy
America was outraged when Japan struck the United States in a deliberate attack on December 7th, 1941 at Pearl Harbor, war was declared, a nation rallied together and the world was changed. America emerged victorious.
September 11th, 2001 is another day of infamy that America will never forget. The sheer audacity and murderous conviction of the Islamic Terrorists came face to face with American courage and rugged individualism that produced a form of true grit on that fateful day a mere seven years ago. Thousands would perish in a matter of minutes as each hijacked plane struck their intended and unintended targets. We cannot know the sheer terror and panic of that day even though we may see it replayed in story, picture and film. But certainly we have empathy. And a certitude that we will prevail in the end. Vengeance is mine, sayth the Lord.
Many lives have have been impacted by this far away event and continue to be so even as our fighting men and women serve their nation in their capacity as Coast Guardsmen, Sailors, Marines, Soldiers and Airmen in all places destitute and desolate far away from home.
We remember and pay tribute to our fallen countrymen in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon as well as the men and women in uniform who have paid the ultimate price in defense of this glorious nation. Woe to the enemies of the United States of America.
May God have mercy upon their souls.
