As I watch the unthinkable events unfold over and over again from the September 11th. terrorist attacks, I can't help wondering what will become of all of this. Where will we go from here?
         I am sure there are many military people, both past and present, wondering the same thing and reliving the horrors of past wars resurfacing in their minds. I know first hand, being married to a Vietnam Veteran, that emotions are running high right now. I, myself, tend to be a "turn the other cheek" person, rather than "an eye for an eye" individual.
         However, I also know that as a Nation we must fight to regain our freedom for our children and generations to come. The freedom to travel safely here and abroad. The freedom to go to work in a high-rise or anywhere, without fearing for our lives and the lives of our loved ones. The very same freedom and security we all knew at one time.
         As the memories become less vivid in our minds, with the passing of time, we can't forget what absolute freedom stands for and what being an American is all about.
         A Nation embracing each other and embracing what we stand for is the only America that will be acceptable.
