As a nation we honor our war dead, those who died serving to protect the law, the constitution, of These United States.
In an age where wars are fought out of frustration. Where nations are invaded due to a single act of terror that was precisely directed at major institutions of U.S. strength and power, we persevere in the hearts of the free. The problem lays in those that do not understand what sacrifice means. Terrorists sacrifice themselves in the light of day to bring focus to their plight. Their sacrifice killed many innocent U.S. citizens. Men and women who went to work on that September day with diligence in their hearts. If they weren't diligent, they survived because they weren't at work. Flight crews, military personnel, financial managers...one and all. They went to work. Flight crews ferried passengers across a nation, for business and pleasure. Financial managers went to work, building a nation. Military personnel reported to work to protect a nation. All, on one day, fell victim to an attack against this nation. Those responsible for killing our national protectors and our national People were put into the sights of our powerful military. Those that wished that a blow to finance and defense would drop a nation to its knees were found cowering in caves in a foreign land. Found nationless, found desperate, these terrorists were routed out.
The events of 9/11/2001 are not unique to superpowers. Global dissension comes from a culture that is not accustomed to usury and power. Islam despises capitalism for its usury, for its prosperity. This nation revolted against taxation. This nation revolted against oppression. This nation saw Liberty, Equality, Fraternity. This nation set itself against monarchy and tyrannical rule. This nation is a bastion of freedom and liberty. No other nation can see the true freedom that the People of the U.S. enjoy via a constitution that lawfully lays out the rights of man, the law of freedom.
This constitution is, currently, under attack from without and from within. Men have fought to protect the constitution's implications to this nation. Men and women, currently fight to uphold their OATH to the constitution. Honor them, honor those that rush in to the battlefield while others continue their lives. Honor those that leave their homes and pick up arms to fight foreign entities that would wish harm to those that simply stay at home and go to work for the betterment of their homeland. Honor goes to those that pick up arms and protect you from those who wish you harm. Honor goes to those unknown men and women who protect and serve the constitution that founded your way of life. HONOR goes to those that die on the battlefield for you and your freedoms,,,only to come home in a box. Sometimes that box contains the remains of a soldier, fighting for you, that cannot be identified. Sometimes that soldier died unknown to many but fighting for all. That soldier may only be Known but to God. ~The Tomb of The Unknown Soldier~
Remember your neighbor, remember your countrymen, remember those that serve to protect this Constitutional Republic this Veterans Day.
