This is my right, a right given by God

To live a Free life , to live in Freedom.( Sir Paul Mcartney).........the funny thing about freedom, it isn't free at all....it's paid for by some ( not all) every fucking day..... sadly putting a post on Facebook or wearing a " never forget" t shirt Doesn't get it done.... hollow displays of Patriotism don't frighten mohammed... they remain convinced that AMERICANS don't have the stomach for a decades, generations or centuries long conflict.....and when I look around me I see signs that they are right...... never mind the fact that 9/11 is reduced to a day for just the family grieving.... Every one else is back to work, going to ballgames and barely acknowledging the anniversary ( save the obligatory never forget posts) .... some friends and family do a great job of keeping the stories alive, they remind us who was killed and why it mattered.....but too few unfortunately.............last September.....3 days after the bomb attack at the Semper Fi Race in Seaside heights.... I took to social media and made an passionate plea for people to not forget this attack , and to make plans for the race the following year..... I sent an email in March and in April I created a team and sent the link to the registration site.....easy peasy..... I followed that up with two email reminders in June and July and another FB post a week before the race.....we had 6 runners......too bad snooky and JWOW weren't making an appearance.....we might have had 12...so on a day when channels 2,4,5,7 & 12 had tv crews on site...and Homeland Security, the FBI, counter terrorism units, State and Local Police and countless Vets and active duty military came to Seaside heights....far too many New Jerseyians and New Yorkers and AMERICANS stayed away.....the race doubled from 700 the prior year to 1500 this year....not bad.....but it could have been and should have been more... I'll try again next year.... Semper Fi Mother Fucker !
