Remember The Alamo, Pearl Harbor and 9/11

As a Texan and an American, I cannot help but feel anger, sorrow, pride and resolve when I consider these three moments in history.  The attackers - dictators, empire-builders and fanatics - won the battles, but did not and will not win the wars.  The heros of these events did not die in vain.  Texas is now the greatest state in the greatest nation in the world (no apologies for my prejudice) and those who attempt to take away our freedoms by terrorist acts can look forward to living in holes, fearing the sky and certain defeat.  We Texans and Americans do not shy away from the sacrifices required to sustain our way of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.  God bless Texas, America and the men and women of our military who stand between us and our foes.
