The comments to this article have gone way off target. The point was why have we let the memories fade. I for one will not forget that day for a number of reasons. It took me away from my family time and time again, but I knew it was necessary because for evil to prevail it only requires good men to do nothing. So, I say to those of you with such negative attitudes “what have you done to stop this evil?” I have proudly served this country both at home and in Iraq. I fight for what is right and good. I can not and will not believe sitting on the sidelines and letting the world dictate our actions is ever the right answer. You can take your world opinion and stick it up your @$$, because a lot of those people you are worried about cheered that day and paraded in the streets. Sure there were those who called and wished us well, but they didn’t suffer or have to bury the dead.
You can say what you want about the money spent fighting the wars, but how much is a life worth because that money bought safety for you, the civilians here at home, for the last 7 years. Those who gave it all on the battlefield did so because they were warriors and knew the cost, but those in the towers were innocent and had no choice. So spout all the crap you want about whether Iraq was right or not, but I know for a fact that no one sitting in their office doing their job has been killed in 7 years.
