RUNNING WITH THE FLAG ON 9/11
11 SEPTEMBER 2009 | TOMASUSMC

Posted on 09/10/2009 10:14:24 PM PDT by TomasUSMC

Today I will run with our great American Flag for 11 miles around Grand Rapids. While our troops are fighting our enemies on the other side of the earth, we can do something to send a message to the world.......WE WILL NOT FORGET.

So if you jog, take the flag along. If your friends go out to lunch tomorrow, take Old Glory out too.

Don't doubt for a minute that the world will be watching to see if we have forgotten

I was able to snag a copy of a CNN DVD about 9/11 that was put out shortly after. It was pretty darn non-partisan about everything which was surprising. It has the footage from that day that CNN took, and it also has a copy of the footage of the first plane hitting, and it has the horrific images of the people jumping out of the buildings. I watch it every september 11 and get angry all over again.

Its was a good run. Plenty of car horns beeping. My legs will be beeping tomorrow. But today Old Glory did 11 miles and a light wind made sure she was looking good all the way.

Semper Fi

Thank you for your service, Tomas. There will be angels on your shoulders as you carry our flag. As they whisper in your ear, say a prayer for our country as you run.

The patriotic Conservatives are stronger and more vocal than ever today -

The wimpy left calls us a “mob” and “domestic terrorists” every time we criticize Hussy Junior and the radical left agenda -

Everyone flood the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House with emails, faxes, phone calls now and through tomorrow in an effort to aid those marching on Washington during the day tomorrow.

Electronic rally of sorts.

I’ve begun sending committee chair persons, Speaker of the House, Majority leader in the senate emails saying:

YOU’RE SERVANTS OF THE PEOPLE, NOT ROYALTY. STOP SPENDING.
