Rest In Peace John Noveske 1976 – 2013
Sunday, January 4th, 20159/11 Remembered – The Toll
Thursday, September 11th, 2014Ultimately, we suffered a horrible loss that day. There were 2996 immediate deaths on September 11th, 2001. This wasn’t just an attack on America, it was an attack on the world, with victims from over 90 countries.
Even now, victims and rescuers alike suffer life threatening medical conditions due to the exposure to toxins during the attacks.
And then, there’s the war. In the ensuing 13 years we’ve definitely taken the fight to the enemy and even cut their head off a time or two. But, like a hydra, they come back. Even now, the world is faced with the threat of a resurgent Islamic fundamentalism that targets our ideals in both word and deed. We must oppose them in every case, lest our efforts thus far, be in vain.
