Picture this in your minds: Destruction raining down from the skies, innocent civilians and military alike being wounded and killed, millions of dollars in damages and disruptions of everyday life. A lockdown on all military bases. National Guard and armed forces ready for action on an enemy that has attacked us. An alarmed America, but a very patriotic America has emerged all together to defeat a common foe.
This could have been 1941 or 2001. I was 12 years old in 1941 and can vividly remember those days of uncertainty. We are all Americans with a strong and wonderful land, and regardless of political beliefs we must, and will back our president and Congress to see this to its completion.
God bless America! Our hearts go out to the victims and their families on the East Coast.
