I have not forgotten&#8230; It weighs on my thoughts at times. Usually from a passing comment, video clips that I may randomly come across. The memories, the feelings from that day have not faded, nor diminished. It was to be a perfect blue bird day in September. It was such a day until shattered by the first report to get out across the airways, across the internet. It changed my world view. For the victims, their families, their lives changed far more than I could possibly comprehend. \u00a0It is to our great loss to never know or benefit from what great deeds and accomplishments from all those lost.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watching on live TV that day did not take on the feel of a video game, there was no reset, respawn, play level 3&#8230; Knowing instantly that hundreds of innocent people died as each of the three planes hit their intended targets, the fourth plummeting to the earth despite one last struggle to regain the cockpit. As each building collapsed you knew again in an instant you were\u00a0witnessing the senseless death of hundreds of more innocent people. We would learn later of the deaths of first responders doing a heroes job, of \u00a0Nobel calling.\u00a0Officially 2,977 were murdered, 6000+ injured, and it has been revealed just as many have died later on, from various cancers and fatal lung diseases believed to be caused from\u00a0the toxic cocktails of smoke and burning debris\u00a0at ground zero.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This\u00a0evil act committed on our soil resonates with my\u00a0condemnation of\u00a0a twisted ideology, a barbarism, a savagery\u00a0\u00a0that was prevalent around the world\u00a0a very long\u00a0time ago. \u00a0It has persisted as\u00a0a cancer, a scourge upon humanity. Do\u00a0you not as I, loathe\u00a0the\u00a0spread of\u00a0hateful, evil\u00a0views and those that commit heinous, cruel acts? Islam a peaceful religion? It raises reasonable doubts.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This not an indictment of peaceful\u00a0Muslims. In all\u00a0of the world&#8217;s religions it is a moral imperative to speak out against those that mutate and twist their faiths into radicalized, and violent interpretations of their core origins and beliefs. To those Muslims and other faiths embracing peace, please stand along side us in unity.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">100&#8217;s of years\u00a0of radical Islam, Jihadists, unabated\u00a0evil, murder without remorse (in fact radical followers rejoice in it), defiling, and demeaning of women, and we as the human race permit this to not only exist among us, but to even flourish? Our leaders, liberal elitists are more concerned with political correctness, and not offending rather \u00a0than standing up, relying on our founding principles, making precise, expedited\u00a0decisions. Politics first may yet be the greater danger.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I choose to republish some from prior years as I find it important to repeat:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each anniversary of 9\/11, my thoughts return to two fellow NWTF members Cynthia Giugliano &amp; Walter Weaver that we lost that day.

In your travels I ask that you take the time to thank those that serve us, and continue to support what they do for our country.<\/p>\n<p>Along with counting your blessings, say a prayer for all innocent victims, and that you do something on your part to make the world just a little bit better for those around you. We can all benefit from a little emphasis on acts of kindness.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a9 2016 Mike Joyner- Joyner Outdoor Media\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have chosen to write this a little bit before hand, as we are in the mean season of elections and the political noise will rise predictable so as the anniversary of 9\/11 arrives. 15 years have passed now since that awful day.
