I deliberately did not post anything about 911 on the message board for a reason. I thought it would be nice to see just how much response we would get about it. It has been six years now and it looks like the lesson is being forgotten. We did have two Posts about it and both very good. I am sure to to people that lost loved ones on that day will never forget. Most of us think we are not affected by it in the outstate. People, think again, does it mean nothing to you that are at war whether we want to be or not ?
I do not want to get political here as this is not the time for it and it only takes away from the 911 message. Seems to me that we as a society have so many other things to think about that we do not have time for what is the foundation of this country, or we have become political correct.
Just what is political correctness you ask ? Here is my version……… Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a illogical minority, and rabidly promoted by a unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition the it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.
We are now debating whether to bring home troops or not. What ever happens here may change the course of history dramatically. All I know them people want you to either be a Muslim or they want you dead. Make no mistake about it there is no in between. They have stated it publicly and are following thru with it all over the world.
If I remember correctly at the 9/11/04 IBS Score Nationals at Painted Post New York the IBS had the respect and courage to have a moment of silence, which impressed me a lot. For if we ever forget about it we will repeat it. God help us if that happens. So, All of us including myself should try a little harder and show a little more Patriotism for the people that lost fathers, mothers, sons and daughters. They are the best in the world…… bar none. We have the best military in the world also , and all need our support everyday. So in closing…. GOD BLESS AMERICA, GOD BLESS THOSE THAT LOST LOVED ONES ON 911 AND GOD BLESS THE TROOPS.

Stan, the two comments posted [on the old forum] left little to add. BUT I'm compelled to respond to your blog . . .
Following his 9/11 post, I had a conversation with Al – he and i share similar views. I give thanks, every day, to have been born and live in the U.S.A. – where else could I eek out a living doing what I please and freely, travel about , with a trunk load of rifles, attending matches?
Though I know that this FREEDOM is what our troops sacrifice to preserve, and while my thankfulness seems precious little – still, every day, I thank God for their willingness to serve.
I also deliberately withheld commenting on "Los Tres Amigos" (actually, head-lined The Three Amigos), posted by Al. These are three individuals, from disparate backgrounds, all of whom have contributed to my happiness and success: contributions, both tangible and intangible, direct and indirect in nature . . . We all know such people – we're not all fortunate to have been [tangibly] touched by them.
I still don't see many AMERICAN citizens opting to leave the Land of OPPORTUNITY to live in squalor and INSECURITY . . . but PLENTY of people dream of living in the U.S.A.! God Bless America. RG September 24, 2007 8:56 AM
