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 mulitply 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.
