Continuing prayers for your family and the families of each and every one of these victims of the brutal attack on our nation.

Thank you, kayak.

Michael was a hero. He comes from a long line of heroes. Our family has been giving their sons to the nation to protect and defend its freedoms since World War I. We have lost an extended family member in every major war.

I, too, am disgusted by all the Americans who have already forgotten those who died in the act of war against our nation on September 11, 2001.

Sadly, I fear we are going to be reminded once again of the hatred for our nation by its enemies abroad and the enemies within. There will be another major event on American soil before Election Day.

God grant our President the resolve to keep on fighting the enemy.

He must not be distracted by the current unpleasantness.

All of the "tortured" Iraqis are still alive and well. Many of them were from Saddam's elite brigade of rapists, murderers and torturers. I have absolutely no pity for them.

This nation had better rediscover its backbone.
