911DA Story: Story
My story is a simple one, enjoined with the emotions of millions of others. I was outraged, horrified, and full of anger. Bitter anger, my heart was full of hate. Hate towards a cowardly lot of people who hate us. They hate us because we are a democracy. We live in a land of freedom.
My soul was restless with the blood of my ancestors who fought and died for this land.
Their blood inside of me, boiled up and wanted to fight again, on the land, and for the land. Land that was enriched by their blood flowing freely for this land.
Yes, the warrior in me, wanted to pick up a gun, a shovel, a hoe, or even a stick and fight for my country. The battle still rages in my soul. Victory, freedom's call.
I say this on behalf of my slain dead, of ages past, and I stand tall today on their behalf.
We are not defeated. We are not ever going to be defeated. We are Americans. We are the Free. We are the Brave.
We are Warriors, forevermore. GOD BLESS AMERICA FOREVER
