Really, have we forgotten?

This video is of a song by Darrly Worley, "Have You Forgotten?'

The theme is about 9/11. I know I have not forgotten, I know my cousin in the Army has not forgotten- crying out loud, he was in the tower when the plane hit several floors above him. He can recite what he saw once outside the building, says the most horrific part in all that horror was watching people hold hands and jump to their death rather than burn...and that visual is in my mind from the news coverage...a  national nightmare that now many apologist would have us believe was our fault...a nightmare many in THIS country believe OUR government did...

I am angry at our current government for their stupidity in our economic policy, but I still love my country.

 I still believe in the American Dream, the one our founders enabled us to work towards in 1776. I will not apologize for loving this country, for honoring our flag above all others, for believing that this country is without equal. 

There, i said it...yes, America hasn't always done the right thing, but damn it, we do a hellava lot right...

Pariotism is not a vice

A friend reminded me I am the daughter of a Marine...I guess I got a double dose of patriotism, cause I married a former Marine... 

I am proud I am an American.

My fellow citizens, I have NOT forgotten what that means, have you?
