PASADENA, Calif. -- Thousands of volunteers were hard at work in Pasadena and Irwindale getting the floats ready for the 122nd Rose Parade Presented by Honda, but one float in particular is much more than just a float.
"It's a dream come true for me. This is something I've wanted to do for nine years," said Jerry Thomsen, a firefighter specialist.
When America was attacked more than nine years ago, a group of Los Angeles firefighters headed to Ground Zero to help, and Thomsen was among them. Now he and his L.A. firefighting buddies are honoring their fallen comrades in a uniquely Californian way.
"I've heard 'never forget' for a long time, and I think we've forgotten about our heroes that we lost," he said.

“Never Forget’’. And Never Forgive.
Oh well..
> Oh well..
:)
I understand. Perhaps if the menace is neutralized, you will be able to forgive.
What!? No Mosque? /s
Well, you are a far better person than I for I will hate adherents of the pedophilic prophet forever.
As that won't happen in the years left to me, the chance is <=Ø .. but thanks for the thought
Thank You for this thread. I remember 911 as though it happened yesterday. This will be a wonderful memorial to those murdered that day by the satanists calling themselves a religion.
RE: “Thanks for posting. The float is beautiful.”

I can’t wait to see what the crowd’s reaction is when the float passes down the parade route......................
But this is wonderful.
Confession is the first step in healing.
However, you are free to detest and hate Mohammed, the pedophile pirate polygamist rapist genocidal savage and his satanic religious system. Mohammed is alreday dead, died in his sins denying Christ, and is suffering his judgement in Hell.
His religion is a system, not a man, and you are free to despise it and defame it and fight against it with every fiber of your being.
As for the living Moslems, Jesus said to love our enemies and to pray for them that hurt us.
Mohammedans need prayer. Every day, many of them are coming to Christ. Many of them risk their lives, their families, and all that they own to renounce the death cult of Islam and embrace Christ.
One Mohammedan convert says that the house of Islam is all hard on the outside, but soft and rotting on the inside. I have friends working in the mission field "Behind the Sun", as they say. They are preaching Jesus and making inroads.
Pray that they succeed.
Islam will fall, my friend.
Ishmael, whom the Mohammedans call their father, is not mentioned in Revelation. The Beast and the Whore Religion, in my humble estimation, will emerge out of Europe in league with Asia.
One man I know had the following vision of the Apocalyptic Map of the World. I don't vouch for it's accuracy, but it is chilling, nonetheless.
WWII lasted six years. We bombed Germany into oblivion. Hitler committed suicide. We nuked Japan. They unconditionally surrendered.
Oh what a difference, political correctness makes. Full body scans at the airports for grandma, the wife of a WWII pilot. Or, maybe an up close and personal pat down.
Ten years later, our right to privacy has been compromised, and still no resolve.
One day, once this nation's enemies are defeated, I pray I may be able to forgive them for what our enemies have done and attempt to try and do again. Till our Victory arrives, I shall remain in prayer that God and Jesus will help America to Win. If I should pray in vain, I will have still prayed, as I pray Jesus will intercede for me when I arrive to be judged.
America is the only hope for those who are oppressed by others. Moslems are oppressed, yet moslems direct their hate toward America. This makes no sense to me why moslems hate what offers them freedom from oppression. Thank You again, I promise I shall remain in prayer.
Check this out. Never seen it before.

It is what their satanic death cult teaches them to do. Think of Orwell’s “Freedom is Slavery”.
Their founder, Mohammed, was a genocidal mass murderer, a torturer, a thief, a liar, a truce-breaker, a slave-trader, a cruel tyrant, a polygamist, and a profligate rapist and child molester. His rabid teachings insist that his proselytes follow his hideous example.
They even murder eachother for not being the same kind of Moslem. There was a time when so-called Christians did this also.
However, the rulebook for Christians, the Bible, opposes such behavior, so as Christians became more familiar with their fundamental teachings, the more kind and tolerant they become of eachother as well as towards those who don’t believe.
The very opposite is true for Islam. The more a Mohammedan becomes familiar with his “prophet” and his rabid teachings, the more violent and intolerant he becomes.
Remember that Jesus took upon Himself all our sins, died a horrible death, suffering the pains and torments due to each and every one of us for every sin we ever did or will commit. Yet, He forgives us. We must follow HIS example.
Love and peace to you, my brother. I am confident that Jesus will calm your heart and that you will be able to deal with the necessity of converting Moslems, or defending your life and family against them, as required by circumstance, without being emotionally wrought by hatred for the individual.
