It has been six years since that terrible day.

New York  2,750 people died and another 24 remain listed as "missing" 
Washington 184 people died
Pennsylvania 40 people died
(this does not include the 19 animals that caused this tragedy)

Total 2,974 innocent people were murdered on that terrible day and another 24 remain listed as missing.

Among the victims were 343 New York City Firefighters, 23 New York City Police Department Officers, 37 Port Authority Police Department Officers. Heroes one and all!!!

Six years later;

Osama bin Laden.  As far as we know, this bastard is still alive and free. That needs to change as soon as possible!

Lisa Beamer. Her husband Todd Beamer was on Flight 93. He is famous for having said the words "Lets Roll" to a telephone operator just before the plane went down after the bravery of several men and women fought back against the terrorists. Heroes one and all!!!  Lisa Beamer gave birth to a daughter, Morgan Beamer.

Rudy Giuliani, mayor of New York City at the time is now a Presidential Candidate. I personally credit him for inspiring the Nation to rise up and move forward.  He took charge!  At the time, I personally believed that everything was going to be OK because Rudy said it would be.  Thanks Rudy!  You were truly a leader when our great nation desperately needed one.  Rudy, for that alone you've earned my vote!

The 3 firefighters featured in the iconic image of the flag raising above. According to a NYFD spokesperson, all 3 are still working for the New York Fire Department..  Heroes! Never doubt that fact!!!

Always Remember that terrible day.

Fly your American Flag and thank a soldier or veteran for all that they have done and will do to keep our country safe.  Most of all, be Proud To Be An American!
