Thanks for the ping, Tonkin.

Merry Christmas and Happy Hannukah to our troops at home and abroad. Your country is incredibly proud of you.

America has faith in you and your prowess, and faith that we all fight the good fight, that our cause is just, and that the battle belongs to us.

Two Towers

Shattered in the blue dawn's early gleaming,
Steel and glass fall down one fateful morn.
Twin Towers burn in fires of hateful dreaming.
We wake to pyres of nightmares newly born.

Now, rebel clerics fan the flaming rabble.
And yet, the Bell of Hope chimes. God, we hear it
Above the evil death-cult's towering babble,
Ringing to our heart, our mind, our spirit.

So to our Towers our streaming faces turn,
Still standing on our bannered City's Hill--
As Root and Branch our enemies can't burn--
As Pen and Sword: the allies of our will.

For God and Country stand our righteous Towers.
The Two are not Jihad's. The Two are ours.
