Lt. Col. Kwiatkowski, Thank you for your service to our country. I am MSgt (retired) James Woods. I felt like I was right there with you till you started in on 9-11 and undeclared wars. I will stand up with all Americans that choose to remember in their own fashion public or private liberal, moderate, or conservative- 9-11 - . To me it is more important to stand united than apart, put differences aside, clear our minds, and come together for this moment. It is not just America.; it's the world. 'Nuff said there. I care little that a war is declared or undeclared, after all it is war. I care about imposing our will on those that would seek to destroy us. I will fight the enemy where I find them foreign or domestic. That is my nature and is my imperative. I do believe that GoD has intent for us all, therefore for nations & principalities as well. Is it for me to decide, in my world-it is. Our government is what we all make of it. I think we all agree that we want to pay our debts, be true to the colors, and have America lead the "Fight for Freedom" into the future as well as now for ourselves and our posterity. I will have "Change", I will be part of it. If it means beating the "Drums of War", so be it, if there can be peace, I offer "The Olive Branch" of government. On 9-11 I stand with my countrymen (man, woman, child) and remember how I felt sitting in an AirFrame ready for take-off when a man said an aircraft had hit the "World Trade Center". Then when he said it was both not just one. I will remember when our leaders were smart enough to pause, ground all aircraft, and take control of our skies. I will remember upon dis-embarking, going to the lounge in the airport to stand side-by-side with my brother & sister Americans and watched the towers fall. How I felt the emotion of loss, felt the pain of knowing we had just lost thousands of friends, fathers, mothers, in short family. How later I wanted a reckoning, wherever it lead. The world had just become our battlefield. I felt it, every "Warrior" felt it. We would fight the enemy wherever we found them on whatever shore, on any ground, "We Stand United or we Die". As individuals, as a country. So you observe how you wish to that is your choice. Many will do so in silence, others more vocal, and the spectrum in-between. I am glad we live in a country where all voices can be heard, even the who's down in whosville, I hope Horton is listening. God Bless You, God Bless America, May God Bless us All. I am an American serving in the Forces to Guard our country. Semper Fi isn't only for Marines. I am MSgt James Woods, USAF retired: Military Contractor FTWOT (Fighting The War On Terror) wherever I find it. Foreign or Domestic. I must be true to my nature. Peace & Love, if not then I am "War".
