A
Few Words About the CD by Steve Golding
I am a survivor of the attack on the World Trade Center,
as most of the people of New York City. This has hit me
especially hard because had I been on time to work that
day, God only knows whether or not someone else would have
incorporated my photo into this arrangement.
Unfortunately, I lost many people in this wanton, cowardly
attack. I have not been the same ever since. One day the
calm may return, but here it is months later and I still
feel the sensation of shaking inside.
I created this presentation to honor all who I lost personally
as well as to honor all of those who were lost that
day. I created it to honor the heroes that run toward chaos
and carnage rather than, like most everyone else, away from
it. To those men and women, my heartfelt and sincere thanks.
I do not know what we would've done without you.
Nor would we have known what to do without all those who
rushed to the city to help us in our hour of need. You have
my profound thanks as well.
When
you feel your resolve waining or you wonder why we are in
another country fighting a long, protracted battle, I want
you to consider all the people who were at work or on their
way to work when US commercial jetliners and their occupants
were used as a weapon of mass destruction against the United
States. They all had names. They all had families. They were
guilty of nothing more than being American. And some of them
weren't American at all.
Freedom was attacked on 11 September 2001. As the keepers
of the beacon of freedom, it is our responsibility to defend
her wherever the defense of freedom takes us. So strengthen
your resolve and remember all these folks on this CD and then
multiply that by 100. All with families. Just going to work.
Just like you..
Finally, in case you are interested, my presence of the web
is based upon the POW/MIA (Prisoner of War/Missing In Action)
issue. When we ask our young men and women to join our armed
forces and possibly put their lives in harms way, we have
a responsibility to them to make sure that if they are caught
while in defense of our Nation, we will do everything possible
to see that they are repatriated back to US control when hostilities
cease.
Thank You for ordering this CD and God Bless all those involved
with Operation Enduring Freedom and the United States of America.
