#joebiden #september11 #live
from all of us in ireland, we will never forget
Thank you. And please never forget that this was a crime committed by the U.S. government on its own people for their own selfish gains.
@ihaveasunrae well i won’t get into who committed this evil, i’ll just remember the innocent victims today
Today is a day of remembrance for me. On this day in 2001 terrorist crashed airplanes into the Pentagon and the two World Trade Centers in New York City killing thousands of Americans. I was in the navy stationed in Atsugi Japan.
I can still remember the speech from our Commanding Officer. He told us that we are immediately deploying to the Persian Gulf to get our pound of flesh and to avenge the thousands of Americans killed by the terrorist group led by Osama Bin Laden.
We brought hell with us and we dropped bombs on terrorist strongholds 24 hours a day seven days a week for months on end. I was stationed on the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk. We were the first response to the attack.
This is probably the only thing in my life that I’m proud of. When my country was attacked I did something.
I was already starting to have tremors at this time. I still felt obligated to fight for my country so I hid the tremors and continued serving in the military. When my enlistment ended with the navy I signed up in the Army to continue fighting terrorists to keep my country safe.
My service to my country cost me my health and condemned me to a life of poverty and loneliness. I don’t regret fighting for my country. In the end money and possessions don’t matter. Honor matters. Dignity matters. Service to a higher cause matters. I served my country with honor and dignity. Nobody can take that from me.
Reach out to someone and ask for assistance??? A church or someone? I’m sorry you are having problems. Im lonely and poor myself but just as a civilian not a soldier.
Rest In Peace Sister’s and Brother’s You Will Never Be Forgotten.
USA Strong 🇺🇲
19 While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption: for of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he brought in bondage.
“No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms.”
– Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776
The reason why the term “free man” was used in that statement was because America had millions of slaves who weren’t extended rights.
“That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment, to use arms in defence of so valuable a blessing, on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion.”
-George Washington, letter to George Mason April 5th 1769
“At a time, when our lordly masters in Great Britain will be satisfied with nothing less than the deprivation of American freedom, it seems highly necessary that something should be done to avert the stroke, and maintain the liberty, which we have derived from our ancestors. But the manner of doing it, to answer the purpose effectually, is the point in question. That no man should scruple, or hesitate a moment, to use arms in defence of so valuable a blessing, on which all the good and evil of life depends, is clearly my opinion. Yet arms, I would beg leave to add, should be the last resource, the dernier resort. Addresses to the throne, and remonstrances to Parliament, we have already, it is said, proved the inefficacy of. How far, then, their attention to our rights and privileges is to be awakened or alarmed, by starving their trade and manufacturers, remains to be tried”
-George Washington, 1st President of the United States of America
Letter to George Mason | Wednesday, April 05, 1769
“In a general view there are very few conquests that repay the charge of making them, and mankind are pretty well convinced that it can never be worth their while to go to war for profit sake. If they are made war upon, their country invaded, or their existence at stake, it is their duty to defend and preserve themselves, but in every other light and from every other cause is war inglorious and detestable.”
Thomas Paine, The Crisis, 1778
“Always remember that an armed and trained militia is the firmest bulwark of republics – that without standing armies their liberty can never be in danger, nor with large ones safe.”
James Madison, First Inaugural Address, March 4, 1809
“There is nothing so likely to produce peace as to be well prepared to meet an enemy.”
-George Washington, 1st President of The United States of America.
Letter to Elbridge Gerry | Saturday, January 29, 1780
“O sir, we should have fine times, indeed, if, to punish tyrants, it were only sufficient to assemble the people! Your arms, wherewith you could defend yourselves, are gone; and you have no longer an aristrocratical, no longer a democratical spirit. Did you ever read of any revolution in a nation, brought about by the punishment of those in power, inflicted by those who had no power at all?”
Patrick Henry, Speech in the Virginia Ratifying Convention, June 5, 1788
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.
“Mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the Forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of Abuses and Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a Design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their Right, it is their Duty to throw off such Government and to provide new Guards for their future Security.”
—The U. S. Declaration of Independence, 1776.
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”
– Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759
“Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.”
– William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783
From a country which has been at the receiving end of terrorist attacks, we feel your pain America. Praying for eternal light for all those who didn’t make it home that day.
Finally someone remember that Queen Elizabeth was not the monarch of the United States.
RIP to all those who didn’t make it also love to the families🤍God bless anybody reading this🙏🏽
R.I.P to all the 9/11 victims. To all the people who lost loved ones and friends and coworkers may your heart be comforted and be given healing love.
To the survivors I hope your lives have healing love and joy around you.
