Good Work, John. Today I will join in at the bottom and add the good master of Castle Flea and his post Plain Speaking: Alan of GX40.

[Alan is too subtle. The Flea has put out the best sentence of the day for me. Bar none:

"So here is a big "f*ck you" from me to all the jihadis, islamists, silent "mainstream" Muslims, conspiracy theorists, carpet-baggers, opportunists, apologists, appeasers, bleeding-hearts, the entire tottering edifice of the mainstream media, people who blame the Crusades, people who blame the Jews, the people who never taught us our own history, the people who cannot be bothered to teach themselves, the people who who offer pious lectures of respect for a faith that would cut off my head and enslave every woman I have ever loved, right-wing zealots and left-wing zealots and with a special raised middle-finger to every free man and woman who thinks this is somebody else's problem.

Also, France."

Okay, two sentences. -the Armorer]
****************************************

There are chairs where loved ones and trusted friends once sat that now remain empty and cold. For them we rightly mourn this day. But, as this 9/11 comes to a close let us no forget The Living. We shall miss our loved ones and friends, shall look oft at the place they once stood in our lives and see nothing but a gaping hole, and we will honor them by soldiering on in their memory. But while we will soldier on and give credit to those Lost To Us as we do so let us not forget that we really do it for The Living.

Here we are. Here we shall remain.
