"Our Country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but right or wrong, our country!" (Commodore Stephen Decatur, USN)
Today marks the 9th anniversary of the ruthless attack on our nation and it's way of life. On this day, I was afforded to opportunity to carry several United States Flags aboard the airplane I was flying over the country of Afghanistan. Although these flags belonged to soldiers, family members and friends, having them aboard served as a reminder of the resolve we Americans have to preserve our Freedoms. Just as not every American is good (look at the prison rosters), neither is every Afghani bad! I assure you that the coalition forces are going to great lengths to assure that we get the bad ones (TALIBAN), and protect the innocent. Today, as everyday, we remain committed to the mission. In that respect, it has been a great day!
