I Have Not Forgotten Nor Will I Forget

A LIBERTY REBORN EXCLUSIVE!

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
A day in September and going to work.
On the way there I was planning my day.
Hearing the news of an attack on our home.
Watching on television as the twin towers were set ablaze.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
The news of those cowards that killed even more.
As they plowed another plane into the Pentagon.
Those that rallied on board a fourth plane.
Those that sacrificed and put it all on the line in Shanksville, PA.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
Praying for those that we knew who were dead.
Praying for those that we hoped to have survived.
Confusion that gripped a nation trying to come to a realization as to what happened.
The roar of fighter jets in the sky above.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
The radicals claiming that this was not over.
How they would make us pay for imagined sins in their own little brains.
The way Americans rallied against the face of evil.
And a man with a bullhorn standing among what was now rubble.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
A brief moment of unity in Washington, DC.
Unity that quickly started to faded as politics came into play.
A choice to fight back and not cower and hide.
Political back biting and then claims of big lies.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
Soldiers who prepared to head off for a war.
Others that wrung their hands at the thought of defending our selves.
Brave men and women alike that went overseas.
And not a single one of them forced to do so with a gun to their head.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
A powerful defeat of the evil from that September day.
And others that plotted and told us that this was all wrong.
The betrayal of our men, our women, our country.
Slurs comparing our soldiers to NAZIs, Pol Pot and others.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
Hollow men of a by gone era implying our soldiers were murderers.
Vigorous defense of such claims and trumped up charges.
The faces of men and women with purple fingers and with some more liberty than the day before.
And anger in my gut at those who claimed that it was still all wrong.
I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.

I have not forgotten, nor will I forget.
That for one shining moment a belief in liberty united us all.
A belief that all were given by God himself the right to such.
How many have tried to taint our reaction.
How many have tried to claim it was too much.
How many have tried to lie about why all was done.
How many have at every turn worked to undermine the mission.
How many have sought to do so for no other reason than the pursuit of their own power.
How many have sought to use these lies to rally against doing what was right and just to take America down a notch.
How evil still exists and continues to plot our demise.
How the dead are still gone and without vigilance and determination more will leave us.
No, I certainly have not forgotten.
And you bet your ass I will never, ever forget.
