This Page is a Tribute to the WTC and the Pentagon Disasters on Sept. 11, 2001. Both of these disasters touched me very deeply, because on this day of the disasters was what I believe to be the response to all my birthday wishes that I have said on my birthday on September 10th.

These birthday wishes are plain and simple. Every year I ask for them, and have been asking for these wishes to come true even before I joined the US Navy and served my beloved country over 8 years ago.
The birthday wishes were the following:

1) No Terrorist(s) of any kind to attack my beloved country that I served because of a love for my country.
2) Peace in the Middle East. This includes the "hawks" on both the Israel and Palestinian sides.
I believe that it is up to the Israeli and Palestinian people to not elect hardliners that want war all the time, and refuse to even broker a peace.
This silly war in the middle east between Israel and the Palestinians MUST STOP NOW!!!!!!! This has gone on long enough, and the hatred only breeds more hatred.
The hatred for one religion or another only breeds more hatred, and does not change anything, but to cause more pain and suffering. When will we learn from history?
When will we learn from history??? When will we learn from the evil that Adolf Hitler did? When will the world community realize that this violence must end??
3) The missing POW/MIA's will be found from all wars, and there will be a full accounting of them, and not the usual "drag the feet" attitude that seems to be the status quo now.

Why can I not even get one wish fulfilled, or for that matter three!!
The true heroes of this disaster on American soil are the New York and Washington DC Firefighters and Policemen, as well as all the rescue workers, and construction workers who went through this hell on earth, as well as my beloved US Military.
If it were not for these brave men and women who risk their lives every day just to save a life, or defend freedom because either they love their country so much, or they have an unselfish need to save a life is a debt that no one can ever repay for these acts of valor and bravery.

I believe that this insanity must end, and it must end NOW!!!!!!
Israel needs to get along with her neighbors, and stop using force to impose its will upon people that live in that country.
It sounds like to me, that the Israeli government has become in my opinion, the group they hated the most during World War 2, the Nazi's.
Israel must stop building settlements in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip if there is to be any peace with its neighbors.

My message to the Israeli government is simple: STOP THE SETTLEMENT BUILDING AND THE WAR AGAINST YOUR NEIGHBORS NOW!
My message to the Palestinian government is to: PLEASE GET ALONG WITH YOUR NEIGHBORS, AND TRY HARDER TO NEGOTIATE A PEACE PLEASE!!!
It is only through these seperate governments that there can be a peace, but it has to first start with the people of these countries declaring in one voice, that the killing must stop, and to elect politicians who will work for peace, and not war.It also starts with a word that seems to be forgotten by both Israel, and Palestine, and that word is: FORGIVE!! Why must you all think you are holier than any other religion? Jesus, a Jew, that the Jewish "establishment", or religious doctorine persecuted Jesus, but he said as he was dying on the cross for our sins, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.", and then died. Hmmmmmm, words to live by, don't you think? How come it takes so long to learn that one word, FORGIVE??

My late uncle served in a god awful war called World War 2, and he never talked about it because of the horrors that war brings, and to see his best friend blow up in front of him in a B-17 bomber, is more than any man can stand to live with, and that is why he never talked about the war. Come to think of it, I have yet to know any veteran that will talk about the war they fought in, and the bloodshed they have seen. Maybe it is because war is a horrible thing, and the bloodshed these men and women have seen is not something they would prefer to talk about.
I respect my uncle because of this. If you all value your freedom to live here in the United States, Thank a veteran from any war, and please keep the light burning, for the missing servicemen and women who will never came home because of the failure of politicians that do not really care, and only put on a cover of false patriotism to hide their own inadaquacies and false promises they made when they were elected. The only true patriots are the men and women who have sacrificed, and are sacrificing their lives now so that we as Americans can have the freedoms that we all have, and some take for granted in this country.
Please join me in helping me to find all of the missing servicemen from World War 1 to the present day by joining Operation Just Cause, and Operation Black Flag, as well as writing your local congressmen and senators to let them know that we have not forgotten these brave servicemen, and to make sure that the full accounting is not completed until every missing serviceman is home, and is given a hero's welcome home.
