What happened to the American way? It used to be when we were attacked we hit back and we hit hard. When the Japanese hit us they hit with a few thousand small bombs. Well then the US didn't just get even. We dropped two bombs. Little Man and Fat Boy. People like to call them atom bombs but I call them the boot that Toby Keith was talking about. 7 years ago today. It was on a Tuesday. Do you remember? At school we had just got set in. Said the pledge, and we had just started our work. Less than an hour later we were attacked. I remember every male in my 3rd grade class said we should kill all of the people who did this. (except in a 3rd grade way of course). We listened to "God Bless the USA" over and over and over. Our principal's name was Dr. Tharpe, my teacher was Mrs. Call. We didn't understand much, just that we were attacked and many killed. 2,974 people, another 24 missing and presumed dead. Now tell me that, that 2,998 people is not something to get angry about. Tell those families that. Tell the men's families who have died in this war that. Tell their kids who never got to see them that. It won't go over too well. So while you are using your right that they protect by speaking out against the war, our president, or our military. Just remember the 1,315,237 people that have died in the past to protect you and earn freedom. This is Courtesy of the Red White and Blue by Toby Keith.
