This picture is added here, with permission by the artist (Chris Lord) for a visual reminder of where it happened, why it is important to us and for the memory of all the victims of this event in American history. Please see the image here. A very big thanks Chris, for allowing me to do this.
I have a few reminders to us all, works on either the event of 9-11 or issues from the current periphery of topics that stem from 9-11. This melange of writing and links, to verify the veracity of my claims, is enough information to melt one’s mind or cause us to see the things that should be plainly evident… things of “American importance,” a historical anniversary, and this should have the clout to bear on us all, currently, and can affect our future if we don’t address them today.
Here are a few links to see what the good Mayor of New York City said, and some reactions to this absurdity: ATTN… SOME OF WHAT YOU WILL READ MAY BE FOUND DISTURBING… OFFENSIVE OR UNSETTLING. THIS IS WHAT REAL LIFE IS… WARTS AND ALL.
NYC Mayor: no prayer at 9-11 memorial service
New York Mayor Bloomberg: No Prayer On 9-11, What about Hurricane Irene
My reaction to the Mayor of NYC is…
Pray in all things… we won’t forget
Freedom… claim it, know it

9-11…ground zero,
under attack,we knew what to do…
called to war,you just go…you disregard the hell…
it went into the air…
the ground bubbled under our feet…
rescue workers with cuts in budget,
Public Health disaster,
Cristy Todd Whitman,“the air is safe,”
turned down… mockery of freedom,
victims denied… benefits withheld,
we can still help each other…Firefighters left behind,
gold recovered liberally,
debris shipped to china…
Presidential Seal on information,
9-11… some memory, ten years later!
With an ear half-cocked to hear our failure
For God, country and our servitude
PRIVATIZE profits, SOCIALIZE losses… our Mr. Cheney
An eleven year old can opened… of feeling, no better than sardines
These two are thrown in for the sentiment they share… from our beloved right.
Feel her passion… hear the dying words spark the worst
When the door opens the bag is on fire
This one is added on 9-6-11

Face it Russ . America in general has turned her back on God . Bloomberg has been and always will be a bootlick to whatever powers that be. The US bows to heathen gods in heathen nations . She has giver herself as a who#e upon the alter of bastar# nations . Speak up and they make you shut up . Glen Beck was gight about the earthquake and hurricane .For those who deny it , there is but one biblical word for them . " RACA ".

you know, i feel so sad when i hear of people in governmental positions telling us that no prayers are allowed anymore. i grew up with prayers in the schools, the star spangled banner at ball games, my hand over my heart whenever the flag passed by, and yes i was even raised in a military family and served my country along with all my brothers. i have always believed that people should be allowed to pray whereever and whenever to the God they believed in and as they perceived him….i have always believed in the preservation of freedom to worship in the religion of my choice or not at all….i believe in respecting each persons choice and expectlmg the same from them…and i have always believed that the church does not belong in government anymore than government belongs in the church…but they both need to respect each other….what happened to those beliefs…..im not the only one with them….i wasnt raised in a bubble….there was a whole generation of us who were raised with those values….where’d we go?
Russell Holder:
The ever present question, especially these days… in the wake of: no prayer in schools, complaints of Christmas scenes, law suits against crosses… and the ongoing onslaught we all face. The erosion of the foundations this country was founded on has been inch by inch… foot by foot… day after day, to the day we now have at our feet- the day a Mayor of NYC says, a complete turn around from his earlier position(s), no prayer will be allowed during a historic event, a memorial remembered… for us all, in a free country. This country was founded on religious freedoms, and even Muslims can find this truth here, and we should not be restricted from this activity… no matter where or when we would choose to.
Even Jesus said,“Render unto Caesar what is Caesar’s, and to God which is God’s.” This is where I must draw the line… even when these two worlds collide, religious and political, and what I would put forth for us all to see and remember from. Thanks pegesus!

Even though this is a journal entry… this is dearly appreciated, and I see it as much more than a simple kindness. You have been a very important friend, fan and mentor throughout this RB experience for me. It is due to that I will forever be in your corner too. Thanks Pop’s!
