A powerful reminder of why we must never waver

Andi over at Andi’s World visited Ground Zero recently and blogged her thoughts about what she saw there. She’s provided a strong message of why we must stand strong and not waver in the face of those who would advocate we leave Iraq before the job is done.

She wrote her post on November 28th, with a note that her husband was going to be deployed to Iraq in 24 hours. God bless him, Andi, and you and your family as well and here’s hoping and praying that your husband will return home safely.

More: Lisa, the wonderful lady who designed my blog layout, recently visited Ground Zero as well and has a great post up at her political blog Right Voices about what she saw there as well and reminds us that it’s up to future generations to make sure they never let others forget what happened on 9-11. (Thanks for the heads up, PCD)

ST,

Lisa S, at RigthVoices.com, also blogged about her experience at Ground Zero and explaining it to a couple of children.

Unfortunately, there are people who blog here who either think we deserved 9/11 or that we should just give up, withdraw from every where, and destroy America ourselves to atone for what they consider the damage we’ve done to the world.

Heya Sister – thanks for the link. Our day at Ground Zero was moving. I’ve visited GZ before after 9-11 – – but this time, with my kids . . . it was important. Important for them to understand and realize that 9-11 wasn’t something that happened far, far away . . . and it’s not some movie that they kept seeing played over and over on the TV.

Let’s see… 4 years ago would have made my kids 10 and 12. Old enough to understand what was happening at the time . .but you know how kids are, hey? It didn’t seem real to them, in a way. Heck, to many adults it didn’t seem real – and hard to comprehend.

That’s why it was so important to me to bring them to GZ before it was built back up again. To try and imprint the event in their heads so that when they are parents, they can tell their kids about it – – about what happened. I want it to be real to them . . and not just something they saw on TV once when they were kids.

In the current political environment – it can be so easy for future generations to forget. Or for the facts to get screwed up if they listen to their liberal teachers to much.
