Military Support Group NJ – How Easy It Is To Forget 9-11
Remember September 11th and Remember to Support Our Troops
You know, it seems to me that everyone has forgotten about 9/11. I am not just talking about the French (though the election may be signaling a change) and liberals that have somehow managed to slither their way into office.
No, I am talking about the general public as well.
Sure, once those planes hit and the thousands of innocent died, everyone was out for blood and couldn’t wait to put our war machine to work.
But now, almost 6 years later, as our brave men and women still fight the good fight in those god-forsaken hell holes that once produced those scum-bag terrorists, we’ve got a bunch of wealthy wimps in the Senate and a bunch of whiney protestors on the streets calling for a total withdrawal of our troops.
Let me tell you something…
Every single day that I drive down Route 17 here in New Jersey to our offices, I see the NewYork City skyline.
And blatantly absent from the view is the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
Every day when I look for the towers I remember rushing outside from my then job in Teterboro (only 11 miles from the site) and seeing the second plane hit.
I remember all the frantic phone calls, and kids crying, and over flying F-16s, and absolute terror we all felt.
I also remember feeling utmost pride as the courageous passengers of flight 93 fought back and put such terror back into the hearts of the terrorist cowards that it forced them to crash the plane in a remote area as opposed to continuing towards our nation’s capital.
Have you noticed that there has not been an attack since?
The courage of the American/British/Canadian/Australian forces fighting to keep us safe is the sole reason why.
Sure, we all want our soldier/family members back safe and sound. But please, let them do their job and support them the best you can.
Electing a bunch of idealist "rich-kid" pansies into office who will do anything the public wants (including withdrawing troops from a much needed cause) to further their career is not the answer.
Support our troops. Support the decisions made by our commander in chief and his military advisors. And of course, protect yourself, your family, and your country while our nation’s soldiers are overseas so they have a nice, safe, and crime free place to come home to after they complete their term of service.
Get involved in community events welcoming home our servicemen and women from the war. Seek out military families in need. Offer your help, your support, and your friendship.
They could sure use it right now.
