LET NOT THEIR DEATHS BE IN VAIN

In the World Trade Center attack of September 11, 2201, 2,774 people were killed (plus 10 animals, I mean “alleged terrorists” as our friends in Reuterville call them). Of that, 370 of them were firefighters and police officers. That means almost 13.5% of the people killed ran INTO the building. 370 people showed no concern for their own lives, they just did what they could to help people they didn’t know. I know of one story about an off-duty fireman whose truck was found along the side of the road outside of the city, where he had abandoned it to get back to help the people in the buildings.

He died when they fell.

We must remember this. We must remember the sacrifices. We must remember there are people out in the world who want YOU dead. They want YOU dead because your are free. They want YOU dead because you make the world a better place and don’t live under oppression.

And there are people out there who would die to protect YOU.

It’s for them that we must not falter in Iraq.

It is for the victims of 9/11 that we must not falter.

Many lives have been given for our safety and to let it fail is an insult to our dead brothers and sisters, mothers and fathers, sons and daughters.

An unforgivable insult.
