An Open Letter to America

Three years ago, on the day that began as a beautiful September morning, 19 men and their sponsors carried out a brutal and devastating attack on our country, leaving 3,000 innocent men, women and children dead, including our loved ones. In those first agonizing hours, and for weeks and months afterward as we searched for word of their fate, we were aware that the shock and horror of that day was not ours alone. With a gratitude we could not yet express, we felt the strong and steady embrace of our fellow Americans. The words, “Never forget,” defiantly written in dust or humbly penned on makeshift memorials, were also permanently etched in our hearts. We will never forget your strength, your courage and your endless generosity... ...Three years ago, George W. Bush stood with us and vowed that he would “Never forget.” We stand with him now.

Perhaps this has been brought to the attention of the forum before. If so, so be it. I just heard Debra Burlingame talk and was touched and inspired. Go to their site and, while you're there, if you haven't already done so, take the opportunity to sign the guestbook and stand with them.

I'm glad that there are 9/11 families speaking out. In the media they were portraying all the families of 9/11 as though they were Bush-haters.

Thanks for the ping, a must read. And their number (40) is greater than the mere two 9-11 women yesterday who were bashing President Bush.
Through the prism of 9/11 and presaging the Commission’s conclusion, President Bush looked at Iraq and Saddam Hussein’s history, his willingness to use chemical weapons in the mass murder of his own citizens, his notorious attempts to acquire nuclear weapons, his record of giving financial aid and sanctuary to global terrorists--including members of al Qaeda--and his repeated refusal to cooperate with U.N. inspectors. He determined that this repressive regime was an intolerable danger to our country. Rather than waiting until it was too late to prevent a fully materialized threat, the President acted. We believe history will support the President’s decision.

They were at 150 members and, as I undestand it, are now over 200.

Don't hold your breath. They've tried. Ms. Burligname even directly called one of the reporters who covered the small group endorsing Kerry and told him about her group.
His response, "That's interesting." No coverage, though.
