I just returned from a trip to Hawaii. We took my 85 year old Father who served in the Navy after Pearl Harbor. We were there on 9-11-2010. Hundreds also were there and what an experience. My Dad was treated with the utmost respect by everyone and thanked for his service by too many to count. they took pictures with him. He said it was the best moment of his life. His generation gave and gave and gave till they could give no more and yet they gave more. We watched an old widow be escorted by a member of each branch of the Military while she carried her husband's ashes to be buried at the watery gravesite. 900 Americans are still in these watery graves.The smell of oil is still so strong that it shocked me and to my surprise I shed tears. All that came were proud to be American never ashamed like our First Lady. I don't care if your purple with pink polka dots we should all be proud of our Country. Only in America can you rise from the bottom to the ultimate success. All races have paid the ultimate price for their Country and to maintain our freedoms. Please think for a minute what America would be like if Hitler or Hirrohito had won? Now we have a different enemy even worse than before because they come from many places and they pretend to want the American dream. The true agenda is to kill it and replace it with a barbaric ideology disguised as a religion. They trample and destroy civil rights and women are reduced to mere wombs to breed more Muslim men. Look at both Pearl and 9-11 and you'll see what they are really about. These are monsters with no respect for anybody and whose only goal is domination. Some "peace" we will have, how many will die at the next attack, 10 cities or 10 States or all? It is so hard to see journalists spin the words around to make it all sound rosey. When will the whole Country wake up to the wolf in sheeps clothing in our midst and the enemies in our own government. Let's restore our Country. Another shocker was in Hawaii the Feds have taken over the land where sugar cane and pinneapple used to grow. It will now make organic fuel but it was nothing but dead fields now. More dependence on foreign countries for our food.

"9/11/2001 was my 52nd birthday. I recall seeing the first plane hit and thinking 'that really can't be an accident' and the rest is history. Took off the rest of the week and spent just about 24/7 glued to the TV. We live right under a major flight path of aircraft landing at the DFW airport and the silence was deafening for several days as the planes were grounded. We will be singing "God Bless America" or "America" tomorrow rather than "Happy Birthday" as we honor the nation God has blessed us with. The "Ameritianity" web site was originally started as a Bible Study class project two years ago in support of those who are willing to stand up and put their lives on the line for the freedoms we enjoy everyday, our Judeo-Christian Heritage which has produced the most free people in the history of the world, and the responsibility Christians have to defend these freedoms from all that is against the Cause of Christ, including Liberalism/Socialism/Marxism in the Church.

"I had just fallen asleep with the television on after a long night shift. I remember dreaming about being at war on U.S. soil... I woke up abruptly to a voice from the television saying that the Pentagon had been attacked. I spent the rest of the day watching every second of the events that were televised that day. I remember it as if it were yesterday. "

"I watched people jump and burn to death. I watched as the towers fell and consumed Manhatten and the area with black smoke. I stood on the rubble for 3 days and nights shifting thru it to find my friends who never came home. I remember picking up body parts, watch's, fingers, rings and wallets. I saw true Americans joining together to help fellow Americans...What I didnt see was the 3rd world countrys we help out lend a hand. I didnt see any one helping the U.S.A out."

"The fear that made my teen age boy go to work with his mom instead of going to school. He was afraid that something would happen to me. I remember knowing that we would never be the same. Watching people jump and the buildings collapse. Seeing people look for their loved ones. My view of the world changed that day and I have not taken this country for granted. I pray and I warn people of the sleep of complacency that is allowing our country to be destroyed from within(just like our enemy has promised). I will not go to sleep without praying for the defender of our country and defenders of the republic. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. God help us now."

"your birthday? Oh, no! I remember taking Laura to school at McKamy and hearing on the radio that a plane had hit the WTC, thinking it was a small plane. Came home, turned on the tv and watched it all day and cried. Ken was in Orlando and drove home because the planes weren't flying. What an awful day."

"I was at work and unable to leave but all of us in the office were glued to the radio. I was in shock and numb and sad but also infuriated. My emotions were just jumbled. Prayer had a major calming effect."

The Day Our Country United......For days, months and years after the devastating attacks Americans and
the world united in an unspoken bond. For the first time in years Congress came together in a totally bi-partisan unity. America and countries from around the world openly shared their grief.

Kenneth O'Day: "Driving to work, seeing the smoke, the traffic backups, the news reports, and an ex-con road service guy crying on the shop radio as the 2nd plane hit. NJ/NYC/CT came to a standstill. And wondering if any friends were in the city working that day. Big difference actually seeing and smelling the smoke than watching the news reports ......"
Mo Clark wrote: I remember that day, I was watching the news and I could not believe what I was seeing. I supposed to fly out Sept 12th for my 28 day work rotation at the ESSO (ExxonMobile) Kome Drilling Camp in Chad, Africa. All flights in the US were grounded for a week. When I did fly out the next week, security was very, very tight at all the airports. Everyone, around the world, was still trying to figure out what had happen...I could not believe that innocent people were killed in such a terrible way...

Things can sure change in a NY minute! 9-12, our tree lined street, became a flag lined street...I knew that we would soon be at war. I held my breath, because my daughter was serving in The U.S. Marine Corps! God Bless The U.S.A.!
Ragnar Danneskjold wrote: September 11th to me is the most emotional day of the year. My emotions run from being saddened to tears as I remember how it felt that day, and how it must feel to those who lost loved ones that day in DC, PA, or NYC, and extreme anger and hatred of the people who perpetrated this atrocity upon us.

"I have so many vivid memories of that terrible day that I will never forget. After all the horendous events were over and at the end of the day I will always remember sitting outside on our porch and looking up to the beautiful clear blue sky and thinking to myself that there are no jet trails at all, which was something we always saw when we looked up into the sky and clouds. It seemed so peaceful where I was but I was remembering all the pictures and people I had seen throughout the day while I was at work and we watched the days events on a TV. I remember feeling goosebumps all over as I pondered over what had happened. The families and friends who lost their loved ones on that day have been on my mind today and I pray for them and all the little babies and children who were left behind."
