For others who wrote of 9/11

I wrote this after viewing a vidoe posted on the message board

I have the same mixed feeling I had when 9 11 01 first happened
as I view this youtube from you....
As back then there was first disbelieve then horror-
then sadness - then anger - then overwhelming grief.

As I read the poems of 9 11 01 from other poets.
My heart bleeds and grieves with you
we all know of someone there that day.
It was America that was attacked

Such an uncalled for action to our country.
If these people hate us so much,
why do they want to be here where we are?
Of course I know the answer to that question.

I thank you and all of the other poets who have expressed
their love for our country and grief over 9 11 01.
I agree with you, this is something we need
to see and remember more that once a year.

Freedom is not free.
It is purchased with the life blood of patriots who love and serve this country.
May God bless America
may we come back to the principles and love of country.

I don't know about everyone else,
for me I am sick of being politically correct. I am proud to be an American.
I am proud that I am a Christian. I am proud of our flag.
I make no apologizes for the way I feel about each of these.
