Dedicated to the brave and heroic men and women in the United States military who have fought and died to birth and preserve freedom from 1776 until today. May God help us not to throw their valiant sacrifice to the wind by a federal government out of control!

W here were you the day John F. Kennedy was shot in Dallas, Texas? If you were alive on planet Earth, you know exactly where you were and what you were doing when Walter Cronkite took off his thick black glasses and announced to America, John F. Kennedy, president of the United States, died at 1:00 p.m. Central Standard Time.

He paused and looked again at the studio clock. Some thirty-eight minutes ago. The seasoned newscaster momentarily lost his composure, winced, and cleared his throat before resuming with the observation that Vice President Lyndon Johnson would take the oath of office to become the thirty-sixth president of the United States.

The heart of America was broken!

We had been swept up in the dream that was Camelot. We wept as a nation when Jackie walked into the Capitol Rotunda with Caroline and kissed the flag-draped coffin of JFK. His cortege of matched, prancing black horses pulled the caisson past the White House and the Capitol for the final time while John-John saluted his father and our president with a final farewell. It was a tragic and heartbreaking moment in history America will never forget! There is no greater agony of the soul than to live in the wonder of what might have been.

Where were you on 9/11?

What did you feel when you watched radical Islamic terrorists fly hijacked commercial airlines as missiles of death into the Twin Towers in New York City?

What did you feel when you saw fellow Americans jumping to their horrific and gruesome deaths from hundreds of feet in the air in a futile attempt to escape the blazing inferno?

Every living soul was someones beloved father or mother, someones loving husband or wife, someones cherished son or daughter that would never come home again. Their families would forever after gather on special days of celebrationThanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and anniversariesand look with pain and heartache at their pictures with tearful eyes knowing that the nightmare of 9/11 would never end in their lifetime.

What did you feel as you watched the Twin Towers implode, floor after floor, and in a handful of thundering seconds see concrete, steel, and the lives of three thousand fellow Americans crushed together into an eternal monument of pain and suffering.

Brave New York City firefighters dashed into the blazing inferno and gave their lives trying to save the lives of others. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down ones life for his friends (John 15:13 NKJV).

They gave their all without hesitation. They died and will forever remain American heroes. We make a living by what we get out of life, but we make a life by what we give. No man was ever honored by what he received. Honor is the reward for what he gave. The New York City firefighters gave their all!

Do you remember American citizens running in terror down the streets of New York City, screaming as a massive mushroom cloud of dust from the Twin Towers filled the air and turned a golden day into darkest night? For the first time since the British burned the White House in 1813, we had been attacked in the continental United Statesthe land of the free and the home of the brave.

The American illusion of being untouchable by foreign military powers was shattered in a day by the agents of radical Islam. America would never be the same!

It couldnt happen... but it did happen!

On April 12, 1912, the Titanic raced through the icy waters of the Atlantic trying to set a new transatlantic speed record. This mountain of steel and mechanical genius had been pronounced the unsinkable ship!

Minutes before the Titanic struck the iceberg, some of the richest and most powerful people in the world danced the night away, unaware that disaster was imminent and that the Angel of Death was aboard. They would have gladly traded their power and their fortunes for a crude lifeboat, but none was available for the more than 1,500 souls who drowned in the frigid waters of the Atlantic on this night of unspeakable disaster.

The demons of denial pushed the agony and horror off the celebrated ship. Even after striking the iceberg and with the ship sinking by the head and taking on tons of water, Mr. J. Bruce Ismay, president of the company that owned the Titanic, pledged to his powerful passengers: Not to worry, all is well. This ship is unsinkable and its clear as far as the eye can see.

That message was so desired by the masses that twenty-four hours after the Titanic was at the bottom of the ocean, twenty-four hours after 1,522 souls had slipped into eternity, the headlines in the New York papers screamed: All Saved from Titanic After Collision.
