As I watched the fireworks celebrating another Indepence Day, I couldn't help but go back to Sept. 11, 2001. I thought of the lives that ended that day. I thought of the brave firefighters and volunteers who risked their own safety for the lives of others. I thought of the heroes who signed up to fight terror after 9-11, who are fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan to make sure this country remains safe. I thought of those who will never come home.
Another Indepence Day to enjoy freedom. And who do we thank? Not the democrats in the House and Senate, not the media, not the elitists carrying their peace signs, not the Supreme Court who gives unlawful foreign combatants the same rights of American citizens in court.
Personally, I thank God for giving us a president who understood the challenge and took it on, regardless of those who would impugn him for their own aggrandizement, to the detriment of the country, and to the benefit of the enemy . I thank the excellence of our military for a professional and outstanding job, and I thank their families who stand behind them and support them.
To those who have criticized our Commander and Chief, hope you have enjoyed the freedoms he has worked to protect.
God bless America, God bless President Bush, and God bless our troops.
