...what the ROP did to us 16 years ago today. Below is an email from Act For America.
Never Forget
On September 11th, 2001, we made a promise to those who were taken from us to "never forget." To never forget those whose lives were cut short. To never forget the evil we witnessed. To never forget the sorrow, mixed with fear, and anger we felt. To never forget the enemy that did this to us.
But as I look around our current political and cultural reality, I can't help but note, how many have forgotten that which they vowed they never would....
In the aftermath of 9/11, flags flew on every corner. Athletes couldn't hold back tears as they stood proudly for the national anthem before game time. Americans from all backgrounds came together under one American identity to support our President. We didn't care about PC, because we knew that the survival of our very way of life was at stake.
Nowadays, the flag is considered a hate symbol on college campuses. Athletes are framed as heroic for sitting during the pre-game anthem. Celebrities and even politicians get away with encouraging the assassination of our President. Even temporarily pausing travel from terror ridden nations is labeled "Islamophobic" by political leaders and the disgraceful mainstream media.
What happened? Where did that patriotism go? Where did that unity flee to? What happened to the cohesive will to do whatever is necessary to defend our way of life in the face of pure evil?
Anyone under the age of 21 has no real recollection of 9/11, and the fact we only show clips from that horrific day once a year on the History Channel leaves an entire generation vulnerable to censorship-driven brainwashing from radical anti-American educators, who seek to cover up the truth about our radical Islamic adversaries.
I encourage all parents, and all patriots for that matter, to sit down and actually watch the video of that day with one another. Go on YouTube if needed, the footage is all there. Take some time today to reflect on the reality of what happened. Don't close your eyes, no matter how hard it may be.
Actually watch the planes crash into the towers. Listen to the phone calls of passengers saying goodbye to their loved ones. Watch the towers crumble to the streets. Listen to the audio of first responders climbing 80 stories to save complete strangers. Our nation has forgotten what it felt like to witness this attack and it is only through remembrance that we can begin to restore the unity, and will to survive that followed.
We must re-establish the unapologetic patriotism we shared in the aftermath of this day 16 years ago.
We must support our President when he does what is necessary to protect us, regardless of personal or political differences.
We must educate ourselves and those around us about the threats we still face as a nation.
It is out of the horror of this day, which reawakened flashbacks of my terror-ridden childhood in Lebanon, that I started ACT for America. I never wanted my children to have to live in the same fear I did growing up, because of the same exact enemy.
Please take some time to remember the events of this day, and those taken from us, while encouraging others to do the same. If you'd like to learn more about taking action on behalf of your country, please visit actforamerica.org, and unite with us in defense of freedom, and the survival of Western civilization.
Because Never Forget, Means Never Forget.
