I guess this one hits close to home for some of us, as well it should. I drive over the Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter memorial bridge every morning, and afternoon, to, and fro from work.
A small memorial, on a non-descript interstate bridge, for a man, and 16 of his shipmates, who paid a hefty price serving for our freedoms, but a large reminder of concrete, and steel for Jon Clodfelter, a father who lost his beloved son.
A lot of people think of 9/11/2001 when they think of the war on terror, but let us also not forget 10/12/2000. This was another clear warning sign that Al-Qaida, intended to wage war on our soldiers, and citizens worldwide that went unheeded, and one of the first salvos fired against us by Islamofacists who look upon us as kafirs, and cannonfodder, hellbent to subject us all, to the sword of a worldwide caliphate.
The only retribution the loved ones of these brave sailors could have hoped for was justice. But seperated across thousands of miles of ocean, and sand, justice was in the hands of people who publically chastise terrorists, but behind closed doors pat them on the back. Once again justice has been perverted.
Don't forget the sacrifices of our brave, men, and women in uniform............
and don't you, and your friends, forget them either Jamar-al-Badawi.
Because I am confident that one day, by the hands of one of our brave children, you will reap the whirlwind.
We'll be watching you Jamar!
