Lest We Forget
This is the 13th Anniversary year of the destruction of the
World Trade Center and the attack on the Pentagon by Islamic Terrorist.

As time passes, the tragic events experienced on that
terrible day begins
to fade and we tend to be less resolved in our will to face terrorism. We can not
forget, we can not allow that to happen.

America, we must be diligent in preserving our Freedoms here
and abroad by supporting the people of Democratic countries and condemning those who
rule by murder, fear, lies and repression. Shine the light of truth on those countries
that support terrorism either by deed, word, money or shelter. It is
our duty, as free people, to speak out against all violations against human
rights. If we don't, who will ?
"A number of years ago a president of this country declared that
we have a rendezvous with destiny. In a world where terrorism spreads and the
innocent die we must fulfill our destiny. If not us who? If not now when?"
—Ronald Reagan
Only Time
by Enya
Who can say
Where the road goes
Where the day flows
- Only time
Who can say why your heart sighs
as your love flies
-Only time
And who can say why your heart cries
when your love lies
-Only time
Who can say when the roads meet
that love might be
in your heart
And who can say
when the day sleeps
if the night keeps
all your heart
Night keeps all your heart
Who can say if your love grows
as your heart shows
-Only time
And who can say
Where the road goes
Where the day flows,
-Only time
Who knows-only time
Who knows-only time.....
