UNITY

WE WILL NEVER FORGET

9/11

Those empty chairs at the dining room tables across our Nation will never be filled; now memories take that seat. Mothers, Dads, Grandparents, Children, Friends

have learned , and lean into each other

as they remember those lost that day

of

9/11

tears will flow when grief triggers are pulled

as

life contiues on, differently than ever before.

BUT now

we can rest knowing

the most evil of the evil

has paid for organizing and implementing

the harm, the hatred, the deaths

of

9/11.

Families, friends, neighbors, communites,

Firefighters, those Police officers,

soldiers, families of those who have died

for our freedom

now

can sleep just a bit easier

knowing

that

Bin Laden will never organize or plot with his terrorists

and laugh at our Nation and citizens again.

Justice is done

Thank-you to those who serve

so that we are free

WE STAND UNITED

just as we did that day

the world stood still

on

9/11

UNITED WE STAND
as

citizens of the

United States of America

We know that

our

President made the decision

and

gave the orders for that strike on that compound.

We'll never know who the skilled marksman was that fired that shot into the side of the face of Bin Laden

BUT

he is to be applauded

given a medal

hell give him a whole shoulder full of medals

and

as much steak and lobster he can eat!

Good morning May 3

a day of promise

a day of

HOPE

and a day of

remembering

that we here in the USA

did not ask to be attacked

we did not ask for war

we did not ask to get involved in those countries

with hostilities

and

generational warfare

we did not expect for such tragedies

to strike our homelands

and to feel such grief/shock and trauma

on that day

that beautiful morning as I remember it

in DC

when all of a sudden

everyone's lives were turned upside down

by terrorists.

BUT

we stood united

in a fast minute once we regain our footing

and went to work

our country would not take such acts of aggression and terrorism

not on our lands!

WE

were

UNITED

and let the world know

that we would not stand for this

attack on American Soil.

This is our land

our Ancestors handed it down to us

and

at that time, as hearts broke, as shock and dismay filled the skies and God wept

along with all of us

many ran to enlist

those Veterans

wanted to re-join even those from WWII.

Folks that could

were first responders; many still suffering the effects of physical and emotional pain

today

from all that was witnessed, all the smells, the toxins that were inhaled and absorbed into the fabrics of the very beings.

BUT

deep in the hearts of those that were the first responders we had to hold the belief

that this evil piece of crap

called Bin Laden would ultimately be found

and

Justice would be served.

Our colors

DO NOT

RUN

Now many will speculate on:

how did DNA come back so quickly

was it really really him

why did we allow him to buried at sea

why didn't we do this or that.

It has started already,

folks trying to slam our President of these

United States already.

Folks just cannot leave it alone

they have to throw blame

doubt and condemn

even our own

commander and chief.

What in the hell is wrong with our

fellow Americans.

Where has the respect of the

leader of our Nation gone

with people?

Do they not realize how this dimishes our very fabric of the flags that fly

and how it appears to those out to harm us?

If we do not stand for and with our

commander and chief

what does that say

about our country as a whole?

I DO NOT CARE

if you are a Replublican a Democrat

a drinker of Tea Parties

or and Independent

when you go to the polls.

I DO CARE DEEPLY

when people so not stand as one

with whoever is occupying that White House

that we all are a part of

in this country

and

have an obligation

to stand alongside and with

as a United Force to be reckoned with

as citizens of

the

United States of America.

Oh yes, you can believe there will be

questions/judgments/second guessings

and

then there will be those that want to know

"why weren't we told of this secret mission and thoughts that they knew where HE WAS"

Well, if ya think about it... if it was told, then it wouldn't have been a "secret mission would it"

and

some things are just better kept between the President of the United States and his forces

is my thinkin.

As for the DNA, I would certainly like to think

they could do that PDQ in the event the leader of Al Qaeda wouldn't you?

So now we can expect increased security at the airports, at the White House

and

just about everywhere for awhile

cos'

those who are zealots will probably want a little bit of retaliation I'm thinkin

and

after all those terrorists are not the sharpest knives in the drawer.

BUT

I honestly believe we are alert enough

bright enough

and

brave enough

to do whatever it takes to

be at the ready

We will not falter and we will not fail.

Terrorists will not be tolerated.

We together are a great country and Nation.

Now my thoughts on this:

and feel free to send them to the

President Obama, secretary of Defense and those marvelous Seals and Marines and the US Marshalls if you like.

But I'm thinkin:

Each and every airport and plane should have

PIGS

on board as security

to walk the isle of the plane, to visit in the

cock-pits as well and to overall just increase our sense of safety. They can be dressed in

RED/WHITE/BLUE

and just be cute as they can be.

It will serve two purposes here in my thinking.

1. Terrorists DO NOT LIKE THE THOUGHT OF PIGS AND DYING WITH PIGS ... cos they will not get to that almighty place where all those virgins are.

2. Little pigs are guaranteed to fly and say "weeeee" all the way to the destination and amuse and delight those who fly!

BUT

make no mistake

 AL QAEDA

or

any other groups who are thinking of doing harm to us or our people or President:

our colors do not run

and

if you come on our soil with intent of harming our citizens it will not be a good thing for you

as

we will not take it.

We are the home of the FREE

because

of

the

BRAVE.

A Virginia Beach-based team of Navy SEALS is credited with finally bringing down Osama bin Laden, the man the United States

(and, well, the world) has been trying to capture for years.

We thank you "TEAM SIX"

we know you are there and will never know where there is or who you are

but

somehow I don' t need to know,

I only know

somehow I feel safer.

“Team Six” – a moniker given to the Naval Special Warfare Development Group (or DevGru, for short) – had been undergoing extensive training to ensure that their raids would unfold flawlessly, even practicing their skills in a replicated one-acre compound built on Camp Alpha. DevGru belongs to the Joint Special Operations Command and reports to the President, their missions and training always highly classified. In fact, according to the National Journal, the general public isn’t told about the specifics of team members’ deaths: the weekend’s announcement regarding the capture of one of the world’s most wanted people proves that the group’s work in conjunction with the CIA can yield positive results. Currently, the JSOC is involved in more than 50 operations across several countries, which, all in all, cost the United States $1 billion annually.
The team captured bin Laden in an attack lasted about 40 minutes, during which a total of 22 people were killed or captured. It was reported that Bin Laden died as a result of one shot ... one "between the eyes to the head".


Thank you NAVY SEALS, JOB WELL DONE. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CHESnfjtLI&feature=related

Thank you Ray Charles, nobody will ever sing it like Ray!

Just makes me want to stand up and holler

and listen to it all day long,

yes

I am PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN

and

I thank our President

blessings to him and his family

and

God Bless our troops

their fight to protect us all

so that we may have the enjoyments

of this day

a hot shower

when they do not get to bathe at all.

We have a bed

while they lay on the ground with one eye open and their finger on the trigger.

We have a hot meal if we choose

they have "rations" probably cold.

We have to decide "what should I wear today",

they get to wear the same

US issue with bulk attachments

weighing about 50+ pounds.

We bicker and fuss and complain

on social network sites or with family or friends

about crap that really will not matter in a day or three.

THEY WONDER IF THEY WILL BE ALIVE TO SEE TOMORROW

and

oh by the way

how they would LOVE TO GET A PHONE CALL OUT TO A LOVED ONE OR A LETTER FROM HOME.

Kinda makes you put it in perspective

all the many gifts that are yours doesn't it?

CELEBRATE FRIENDS

this day

it is yours with oh so many choices

yours to make

all because

we live in a country of freedom

because of those willing to fight for us

and

UNITED WE MUST STAND.



Some Gave ALL

All Gave More than we can even imagine

and

I thank you, your families, friends

I appreciate you all

My heart aches

each time a flag draped casket come home

and

I will be the first one

to

STAND BY YOU

always.

Is it me, or anyone else notice that Mr Trump while he makes that throw my name and hair in for the Prez of white house... Notice he has not yet put a few million into Alabama or states of the SouthEast?

Don't think he has sent his children down there to get their hands into some real work for humanity or community either,

but did read about how his trump mansions just keep growing new mansions to the tune of gazillions of dollars.

Maybe some of the folks now without homes could just move into one of those?

Really wanna know what he would be like

and our country under a "dictatorship"

take a look at his show on t.v.

and

see for yourself!

oh boy.

The fire is burning brightly, its embers are hot, the sage is filling the air.

God/Creator hold those in the Southeast against your bosom as they need strength in healing ways, we are with you Southeast

we are sending you HOPE, FAITH,

borrow ours while you are tired and weary.

Please take a look back at yesterdays' blog

and

send some energy, loving light, strength to all those mentioned in yesterdays page.

There is also an address if you can help with the needs in the communites in Dora AL and the surounding areas there so very devastated.

Thank you to those who are serving our country, those who have served, those memories of our service men and women who are now on the other side, and gave all. We will not forget that you cared, that you gave all. Prayers to your families and those that love and treasure your memory.

Walk in Beauty,

DRSES
