Never Forget

Don't remember because lots of people died
Don't remember because their families have it tough.
Don't remember because any loss that it caused anybody.

Remember because if only for a day you knew the face of evil. You understood what length the enemy was willing to go to in order to see you suffer. Remember that from that day forth ignorance vanished. Everyone in the world knew your foe. Everyone in the world saw that you were in a fight for your very existence. In the shadow of smoke you can easily see your friend from your enemy. Anyone who then opposed your quest for existence didn't do so out of their superior values for human life. They opposed your quest because they oppose your rights, and they oppose you.

No longer should our right to existence be subject to the whims of our enemies. Civilizations rise and fall, people are mortal, ideas are forever. No matter who you are, regardless of your beliefs, you will be judged. Whether by your deity or the children of history, a consciousness not your own will determine the morality of your actions. The principles that govern your actions will be questioned, do you have them or do your actions decide your principles. Emotions will die; logic lives forever.

All things and people will come to an end. Stand and face your enemy, those without swords can still die on them. What's yours is yours, including your life. If the end comes, go down fighting for what is rightfully yours. History will remember you as we remember the Alamo. Evil is there, whether you acknowledge it or not. And only in the face of danger will the true colors of character be revealed for all to see.

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't exist.
