Take a Stand

We once fought to make this a country of and for its people. Later, we fought between ourselves to keep it as one country, still of and for its citizens. When will the time come for us to fight again, as citizens of this great United States of America, to rid our country of those that would and will do us harm? The time may well come when the regular citizens have to join in with the National Guard, the Reserve Military and all of the Regular Military branches to take our country back from those who seek to take it away from us. Many have tried and many have died trying.

I see that day coming. Unfortunately, it looks like it may now be sooner rather than later. It took 9/11/2001 to wake me up. What will it take to wake up those that still think we aren't going to have to FIGHT to keep America free?
