Unforgotten ~ 9/11/2001 ~ defend America!
as part of TEETER KIN, 2003, genealogy by Laurie S Dunham.
This document is dedicated to those who have not died in vain as a result of 9/11/2001; a terrorist and warring act upon Americans and America.
Loved ones are not forgotten; they are remembered. Loved ones lost bring sadness and lasting void; they remain in our hearts and minds and our very souls and leave lasting imprint. Their right to freedom and life was violated by vile and vehement madmen. Justice matters; and shall also therefore prevail, at all times.
A free and humane society must always have safeguards in place. Freedom endures when its defense is protectively maintained, diligently and intelligently. World peace must reign, without evil and terror. To those means, war is an ugly necessary, at times.
Note the six (6) military photos of my grandparent's children that hung on the wall of my grandparent's dining room at 1036 W Seneca St, Ithaca NY (Tompkins Co). William and Anna White Teeter were the parents of 17 children of whom 14 lived to maturity. L-R seated: Grama; Franklin; Grampa; John (also served later, as well as another brother not in this foto, Mike); Florence; Mary (last born); and Mabel. I think that 7 of my grandparent's 9 male children served in the various wars from WWII and later.
God bless those who believe in America and freedom. And, in defending and safeguarding its preservation.
*** Sea to Shining Sea ***
America is a nation whose pride descends from all of its inhabitants. Protecting liberty and life is necessary for civilization. It is held with high regard, to which it verily responds.
The cry for justice will always prevail and protect its multi-cultured people, called most beautifully, Americans, who cherish freedom. It is the way of the land. And, we will safeguard those principles and our lives and that of our families, friends, and neighbors, and all who inhabit America, unto reasonable semblance toward world unity.
*** Thank you, President George W. Bush, for ensuring freedom, and your ongoing push for enduring freedom.
Prayers for liberty, global peace, humanity, mercy, justice, and freedom. And, necessarily protectively defending and preserving freedom!
*** HONORING AMERICA'S ARMED FORCES ***
You are a special, incredible breed. The following pledge is representative of, and, most certainly belongs, to you: "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. And, to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice, for all. Amen."
We the people, recognize and thank you, our loyal fellowmen, who have come forward, unfailingly and dutifully, to keep us safe. We are proud of you. You deserve and earn all honors. We give gratitude in knowing you are there for your country, freedom, and us. We count on you.
We are humbled. Freedom is not free. Your spirit and fortitude in preserving liberty and freedom is undying. We salute you.
Your dedicated courage in protecting our lives and liberty is noble. You are on our minds and in our hearts. You are an invaluable part of history, of and by its heroic peoples, who have chosen to not let evil and terrorism reign.
You are ongoing trailblazers of freedom, America's finest. We are home of the free because of the brave. An ongoing challenge and duty to which our military deserves honor and recognition every day and every moment. Thank you. God bless and safe journey.
