Thanks so much for posting them. We have been through much as a Nation and it's the responsibility of each and every one of us to never forget what happened that day in September 2001. We have all witnessed the un-provoked attacks against us for the past thirty years and now we have a President who isn't afraid to tell the world that WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH and it's time to for bring the terrorist to justice or bring justice to the terrorist. Either way, Justice will be done.
God Bless America!
