Terrorism Hits America

   It was only a matter of time before Terrorism would rear it's ugly head with an attack on America.  That ugly head has shown its face on our home turf.  We must not forget September 11, 2001. That date must become synonymous with Pearl Harbor, The Alamo, and the Revolutionary War.
  
   Stronger actions should have been taken when America was previously attacked abroad.  Remember the USS Cole bombing in Aden, Yemen in 2000 that tore a gaping hole and killed 17 wounding 39 others?  Then the Beirut (American) embassy bombing of 1983 where 63 people were killed and 120 injured?  The same day an Islamic Jihad suicide attack also hit a U.S. Marine Corps barracks killing 241 Military personnel and seriously wounding 80.
  
   Now that terrorism has come to America, we must learn to respond swiftly. The establishing of Homeland Security enables cooperation between our differing intelligence agencies.  That cooperation has thwarted many other attacks that were planned against the American people.
  
   The Twin towers are being rebuilt as a memorial.  It will become a tribute to the American resolve.  It will stand for the heroes that sacrificed for the safety of others.
  
   Our Police, Firemen, Aid, are now revered more, thanks to those heroes of September 11, 2001.
  
   These poems and writings are taken from other pages on this site.  Most  were inspired by the unfortunate events of that fateful day.  Here combined together to make this my tribute and memorial to the heroes and victims of September 11, 2001.

 
May We Never Forget!

The Enemy Fails

The Pentagon and the
 Whitehouse were military targets.
 The twin towers of the International Trade Center
  were civilian targets to demoralize Americans.
 
 They failed on both accounts
 as their numbers and actions diminish
 as America gains ground in the War on Terror.
