Freedom Fighter Or Martyr They Did Claim To Be?

To 9-11 and Our Nation... They came into our country unannounced. They ate our foods and slept in our Inns. Some even took up residence and pretended to be working men. They boarded some planes on a morning flight. With false credentials they had obtained in the night. With no plans for these planes to reach their final destination. Their hearts were filled with hatred of our great nation. They claimed their deeds in the name of a religion. No pity for the innocent or for those who would try to save them. No mercy you see? Martyr’s they claim to be? They crashed those planes into our two Twin Towers. They even hit the Pentagon in an attempt to weaken our power. On another plane people fought to the very end. Brave men and women determined not to let them win. They tore a hole in our hearts. But, they forgot one thing? This is America and the land from which freedom rang! We shall never be silence by evil people and their deeds! Democracy shall forever be the battle cry for our freedom to me! Freedom fighter or martyr they did claim to be? No, more like cowards to me!
