Day is done,
gone the sun,
from the lakes
from the hills
from the sky,
all is well,
safely, rest,
God is near.
Fading light,
Dims the sight,
And a star gems the sky
Gleaming bright,
From afar,
Drawing, near,
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise,
For our days,
Neath the sun
Neath the stars
Neath the sky,
As we go,
This, we, know,
God is near.

This was a horrendous ordeal. Why someone could just snap like that is beyond comprehension, but the media forgets there was one more fatality-the worst of all-an unborn child. One of ladies who was killed was pregnant. He took all these innocent lives and hurt so many families, who now will never be the same. It hurts my heart because I have so many military members in my family and I consider the military my family, even though I've never "served" myself. I hope that God will give all these families comfort and understanding in the many hard days ahead and know that their loved ones were heroes-one and all. God Bless the fallen and the injured.

These soldiers and civilians were KIA and WIA. They were casualties in a war. More than a terrorist act, this was a battle in our war with islam. These were not collateral casualties. These were targeted casualties. This is why Americans need to be armed. The Second Amendment is one of our weapons in this global war.

Our 13 slaughtered patriots are now 10 miles away from our home in the 436th MAW Mortuary Affairs building. They didn't have a chance. Didn't ~AA11~ hijacker Mohamad Atta yell "Allah Ackbar" before he flew into the North Twin Tower at 08:46 a.m. on 9-11-01? - The Religion Of Peace 2001/2009?

they say they were killed , I say again, no they were murdered. They had no weapons and were un armed. They were at home, where their safety is supposed to be guaranteed. They were at home where they were to relax, unsuspecting of what was to happen, NO, They were murdered by the worst enemy of all, one in there own ranks.
Which means the Jihadi was the enemy dressed in our clothes, therefore, he should be tried as a spy and if not spy a traitor of the worst kind and summarily executed, by rope.
Worst of all Obama knows this man, the jihadi worked for the obama transition team.
