I Remember

To all those who have been touched by terrorism or fear, September 11, 2001 is not the 
first or last time we will be touched by those who envy and want our way of life. We will go 
on doing all the things we do that make america and us Americans. Now is not a time of 
age ,race, color ,gender or religious beliefs. Now is a time to stand up and show  to the world 
that I am an american and you cannot break my spirit. To those that died on September 11, 
I may not have known you, but I will never forget or forgive  what happened to you. I will 
tell my child what unjust, cowardly act happened to all of you, your families. You lost your 
life and they had their lives torn apart in an instant. May all of you and your families find 
peace. To those that did this or had a part or have done some form of terrorism to innocent 
people, my wish is that you get what you deserve. This flag flies for those who died, those 
who lost a loved one and for what America stands for-- FREEDOM            Richard Hardiman
