seeing a chance to get my life back on track and off street drugs, Viet Nam made me realize what the vast majority don't know, America the Great is just that, The Greatest! Our standard of living here is taken for granted and unless you've been to an undeveloped country to see it first hand you can't understand how drastic the difference is.
I have a whole different way of looking at life here, but the one thing I see happening now is the unity among all groups, ethnic,economic,religous and so on, a unity that needs to become more prevalent on an everyday level before we do get thrown into a war on our own shores and have to start that unity from scratch. We have all been touched in so way by the events of the 11th and we all need to benefit from it and learn the most valuable lesson that this type of event can teach-We are all Human and we all hurt the same! It's been said before and I'll echo it words, but the meaning couldn't be any clearer now if it were written in the Star's(Literally)
""UNITED WE STAND DEVIDED WE FALL" I Love You All! Pappy
