Often wounded, but ...
NEVER DEAD.
Remember the Alamo.
Remember Pearl Harbor.
Remember Black Tuesday.

From one of our visitors ....
We are now involved with an adversary who views this conflict as a "Jihad", or, "Holy War".
The system that we know as civilization is in their minds, evil incarnate.
In their eyes, our civilization is a corrupt, self-indulgent, frivolous and debauched people.
They have declared and have been carrying out a war of extermination.
It is not a series of "terrorist attacks", but it is a concerted,
well directed attack on the world's economic and social systems as we now know them.
Osama Bin Laden has studied for years the habits, movements, economic,
and PAST MILITARY conflicts of the United States.
He has studied the battles that the United States LOST,
much more closely than the ones they won.
Thereby learning all of the strategies that defeated us.
He already knew that our security, economy and military were at an
all-time low. It's in our and the world's press all the time.
HOW COULD HE NOT KNOW?
You must learn that their way of what we call "war" is an act of the
people involved that they believe is commanded and ...
that they WILL BE BLESSED by Allah, if they die
trying to "rid the world of the evil ones".
They are "martyrs", "holy warriors", "...bound for the lap of Allah".
These "warriors" take a blood oath to their leader.
They also go through their version of the "last rites",
when they dedicate themselves to "the cause".
They consider themselves "mujahadeen". "holy warriors".
They consider themselves as "already dead" at that moment.
This is not a war in the sense that you all are thinking of it.
That's why the Russians got run out of Afghanistan.
Armor, aircraft, the elite of their forces.
All, ALL defeated by men on horseback and on foot!
Who used antiquated weapons, such as knives and flintlock rifles.
Be advised, ladies and gentlemen, this is only the beginning of the
assault. They will attack on a concerted and dispersed, divergent front.
THAT will be their thrust into the heart of free civilizations.
The United States is the country the free world looks to in any time
of adversity. We are that heart.
Anthrax, e-Bola, and how many other germ attacks,
are already being carried out here and in all of our allied countries?
This is not a war in the traditional sense that we know.
Study their way of it.
Learn that they consider themselves as "already dead" when they become mujahadeen.
Learn that they believe they will be in Allah's lap when they exterminate the evil ones.
That is, when they exterminate us and all other free nations.
Read this ten times.
Tell all of your friends, church members, and anyone else you care about.
You might just save their lives.
Remember,
the best way to avoid a trap . . .
is to know of it's existence.
Note: Certain words that should be capitalized but are not,
are that way by intent.

And from another ....
The only thing I can find to say, the only words that seem to fit,
must be addressed to the unknown author of this suffering.
You monster. You beast. You unspeakable bastard.
What lesson did you hope to teach us by your coward's attack
on our World Trade Center, our Pentagon, upon us?
What was it you hoped we would learn?
Whatever it was, please know that you failed.
Did you want us to respect your cause?
You just damned your cause.
Did you want to make us fear? You just steeled our resolve.
Did you want to tear us apart? You just brought us together.
Let me tell you about my people. We are a vast and quarrelsome family,
a family rent by racial, cultural, political and class division,
but a family nonetheless. We're frivolous, yes, capable of expending
tremendous emotional energy on pop cultural minutiae, a singer's revealing dress,
a ball team's misfortune, a cartoon mouse.
We're wealthy, too, spoiled by the ready availability of trinkets and
material goods, and maybe because of that, we walk through life with a
certain sense of blithe entitlement.
We are fundamentally decent, peace-loving and compassionate.
We struggle to know the right thing and to do it.
And we are, the overwhelming majority of us, people of faith,
believers in a just and loving God.
Some people -- you, perhaps --
think that any or all of this makes us weak.
You're mistaken.
We are not weak.
Indeed, we are strong in ways that cannot be measured by arsenals.
Yes, we're in pain now. We are in mourning and we are in shock.
We're still grappling with the unreality of the awful thing you did,
still working to make ourselves understand
that this isn't a special effect from some Hollywood blockbuster,
isn't the plot development from a Tom Clancy novel.
Both in terms of the awful scope of its ambition and the probable final death toll,
your attacks are likely to go down as the worst acts of terrorism in the history of the United States and,
indeed, the history of the world.
You've bloodied us as we have never been bloodied before.
But there's a gulf of difference between making us bloody and making us fall.
This is the lesson a former enemy was taught to its bitter sorrow the last time anyone hit us this hard,
the last time anyone brought us such abrupt and monumental pain.
That was the beginning of WW II for us.
When roused, we are righteous in our outrage, terrible in our force.
When provoked by this level of barbarism, we will bear any suffering,
pay any cost, go to any length, in the pursuit of justice.
I tell you this without fear of contradiction.
I know my people, as you, I think, do not.
What I know reassures me.
It also causes me to tremble with dread of the future.
In days to come, there will be recrimination and accusation,
fingers pointing to determine whose failure allowed this to happen
and what can be done to prevent it from happening again.
There will be heightened security, misguided talk of revoking basic freedoms.
We'll go forward from this moment sobered, chastened, sad.
But determined, too.
Unimaginably determined.
You see, there is steel beneath this velvet.
That aspect of our character is seldom understood by people who don't know us well.
On this black day, America's bickering was put on hold.
As Americans we will weep,
as Americans we will mourn,
and as Americans,
we will rise in defense of all that we cherish.
Still, I keep wondering what it was you hoped to teach us.
It occurs to me that maybe you just wanted us to know the depths of your hatred.
If that's the case, consider the message received.
And take this message in exchange :
You don't know my people.
You don't know what we're about.
You don’t know what you started..
But you're about to learn ........

This is not the first time ...

I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is "Old Glory".
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor, truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
My head is a little higher,
My colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped -- I am saluted.
I am loved -- I am revered.
I am respected -- and, I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war
for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg,
Shiloh and Appomattox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam,
Okinawa, Korea, and Vietnam.
I was there. I led my troops.
I was dirty, battle-weary and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me
And I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned, torn
and trampled on the streets of my country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle -- it hurts.
But I shall overcome -- for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted frontiers of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness
to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldiers,
Or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent
at the grave of their fallen son or daughter,
I am proud.
MY NAME IS "OLD GLORY".
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN,
LONG MAY I WAVE.
Please don't grieve alone ...
