We Love Our Troops And Our Country! Proud To Be An American! God Bless America! God Bless Our Troops!We Are Free! by Teresa (Tracey) Louise Stanisha God Bless America! **************** Remembering... Mt. Rushmore was more alluring than the visions that haunted my dreams... I returned to Pittsburgh a week before the 9-11 tragedy and visited the site of Ground Zero and Pentagon sites. No words can describe the immense sadness. Giving hope for all of the people that were so hurt by giving condolences cards! Recently I went to Gettysburg, PA and toured the battleground to honor those that died for our freedoms. Standing at the Statute of Peace and Unity-powerful, overwhelming emotions set in and all the visitors with our tears forming bound together in a freedom that we sometimes take for granted. Touring the battlefield and passing through the Devil's Den and the Peach Orchard, along the roads where so many of our soldier's died and women found the courage to come and clean the wounds. And then, the *Eagle* It came from the right side and flew alongside my car...right in front of my windshield. Startled, I stopped my car as he flew a couple feet into the clearing, and perched strong and steady upon one of the tree stumps. In proud glory that Eagle gazed back at me and my tears... stopped! "We are free!" Thank you for our freedom! The right of speech and creed and the right to come and go as we please! The words cannot express the deepest dire gratitude I and all the other Americans have for those that died defending it, united in it and will continue to uphold our freedoms! God Bless America!
