“We hold these truths to be
self-evident, that all men are
created equal, that they are
endowed by their Creator with
certain unalienable Rights, that
among these are Life, Liberty
and the pursuit of Happiness.
That to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among
Men, deriving their just Powers
from the consent of the
governed, — That whenever any
Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is
the Right of the People to alter
or to abolish it, and to
institute new Government, laying
its foundation on such
principles and organizing its
powers in such form, as to
them shall
seem most likely to effect their
Safety
and
Happiness.”

Christmas Night,
1776
"The time is now
near at hand which
must probably
determine whether
Americans are to be
Freemen, or Slaves;
whether they are to
have any property
they can call their
own; whether their
Houses and Farms,
are to be pillaged
and destroyed, and
they consigned to a
State of
Wretchedness from
which no human
efforts will
probably deliver
them.
The fate of unborn
Millions will now
depend, under God,
on the Courage and
Conduct of this army
-- Our cruel and
unrelenting Enemy
leaves us no choice
but a brave
resistance, or the
most abject
submission;
this is all we can
expect--We have
therefore to resolve
to conquer or die:

'Terrorist Attack'
Upon The United
States of America
Tribute To America 9-11 Tuesday
Today We Sit With Heavy Hearts,
But Tomorrow We Will See,
That Terrorists Of Any Kind,
Cannot Dictate To A Democracy!
Remember. Past Americans have felt the heel of Terror as well!
Yet today it’s O.K. for all Americans to cry for what
has happened. We and Our Freedom were attacked - on 9/11
Tuesday.
You see, in the midst of the World’s hate, selfishness and envy of
our American Freedom it infuriates some, and a stumbling block to
others.
They want to control us. They try it by terrorizing us - thus
destroying our way of life, our way of thinking - destroying our
Freedom.
Freedom is about being able to move about freely, to speak freely
and feel safe in our surroundings. If we allow others to
terrorize and scare us, we stop moving about freely, speaking freely
and feeling safe in our surroundings. We create our personal
prison of which we can't leave. Especially when we have the
"unalienable right to be free" key!
Though, we live in a world where people want to control us by
terrorizing us, no one can take our freedom away unless we let them!
My prayers and tears are for those Americans who
lost their lives, their Freedom - on 9/11 Tuesday!

THE
NATIONAL ANTHEM
OF THE
UNITED STATES
Oh, say can you see
by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed
at the twilight's last
gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and
bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we
watched
were so gallantly
streaming?
And the rocket's red
glare,
the bombs bursting in
air,
Gave proof through the
night
that our flag was
still there.
Oh, say does that
star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free
and the home of the
brave?
