In honor of Flt. 93 "Lets Roll"

I received an email from a fellow SCA member and a good friend. It is a good rant on what today should mean. Today is a day for the victims to be remembered. It is not a day to dwell on the many sacrifices made by the soldiers fighting in Iraq. (and the Gods know I have been to enough military funerals over the course of this war) and for those of a warrior mindset to remember the true heroes of that day. The ones who laid it on the line to take down flight 93. I cannot listen Dusty Drakes song "One Last Time"without tearing up even today 8 years after.My daughter and I were driving in Kansas when this came up on the CD player and we had to pull off the road till we could see again(Ottar crying to hard). Moving song. Look it up on itunes or youtube, and listen to it I dare ya. Any way back to the rant I received and am sharing his thoughts and today is the day that it is right they be shared. Names have been edited to protect who said what. Those who were there know who XXXX and YYYY are and those who weren't it is not relevant to the point being made.

I would like to point out an incident from last night(tuesday 9/8/20009.ottar) which I felt was very inappropriate. When XXXX (I assume that's spelled right) got up and started talking about "remembering the soldiers and what they're fighting for" in the next few days, I started thinking "is Veteran's Day coming up already??" When I realized he was talking about Sept. 11, I couldn't believe that he was connecting the al Qaeda terrorist attacks on America with the invasion of Iraq . What really irritated me was XXX talked only about the soldier's sacrifice in connection with 9/11, and it was YYYY (I probably didn't spell that right either) who added in the comment about "and remember the families who died on 9/11 too!"
That is horribly disrespectful to the people killed on 9/11.
Sept. 11 is SOLELY about the people who died on 9/11 in the terrorist attacks on the US ; you do not use that event to honor any dead people from any other unrelated event, and you certainly don't put the people killed on 9/11 at second place!!
Using 9/11 to honor the dead soldiers from the current conquest of Iraq makes about as much sense as honoring the minutemen from the revolutionary war on 9/11. It's absurd.
The claim used to justify the conquest of Iraq was that they had weapons of mass destruction and they were going to attack the US . I will gladly go to YouTube and show anyone and everyone the footage of Bush saying "we have no evidence connecting Saddam to 9/11".
If XXXX wants to make a proclamation in honor of the soldiers at every SCA event because he feels it's important, then that's fine. If he wants to make one every day, that's fine too. But NO ONE has the right to take the anniversary of the terrorist attacks and lump it with the soldiers and what they go through in Iraq . And it's even worse when someone puts the victims in second place. That is disrespectful to the people who were killed on 9/11.
They need their own day, so SHUT-UP and let them have it.
