Ramblings of a Patriot
December 7th 2006......
Well it was 65 years ago today that America was attacked at Pearl Harbor. "A day which will live in infamy." I would like to take a moment to honor those brave men and women who lost their lives on that notorious day. A day that sparked a series of events that changed the face of the earth forever. Both of my grandfathers fought in WWII, and I will never forget their sacrifices and their love for the United States of America. They were true patriots. One of my grandfathers was stationed on the German front in an Army tank battalion, and the other was a nose gunner in the Air Force in the Pacific theatre. May God keep them well in Heaven. They were two guys who just wanted the best for their families, to live in freedom, and fought for this principle. Words can not begin to express the emotions that I feel for their heroic deeds. My only hope is that their efforts were not in vain. I pray that the world today can someday see that wars are avoidable. Diplomacy can work, but only when each side (of any conflict) actually LISTENS to the other, and we resist the temptation to pass blanket judgements upon people who see things differently that we do.

... there's nothing more moving than a patriotic act, and i think it's because everyone everywhere can relate to it.
i too remember those that fell on that day with admiration. if it was not for them, we would be living in a Nazi world. well actually, being arabic, i probably wouldn't be alive at all because Hitler and Co. would have wiped me off the face of the earth.
it just hurts to hear about death and war these days.
