Remembering Sept. 11, 2001 Readers Respond To Impact Of 911 Events Garfield County News readers read-ers responded to our request for comments on the way in which the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001 have impacted their lives as follows: "Terror does not suddenly appear in its plan to destroy liberty. lib-erty. Cooperation must come from within in order to succeed without. Read Washington 's farewell address. In part it says, 'The particulars of disorder and miseries in the baneful effects of the "spirit of parties" causes insecurity that lowers the division divi-sion of power' opening the door to the enemy. " Doris Lawson Kanab " cried at the pain and suffering. suf-fering. How could anyone hate us so much? America, founded under Godly principles with the Bible as our foundation, is blessed with good people. 911 has made us stronger, bringing us together as a nation, making us revive a patriotism we had almost forgotten. God is greater then all the evil and He has shown His hand through all the love expressed since 911." Trudy Finch Panguitch "Benjamin Franklin said, 'He who sacrifices freedom for security deserves neither.' Far more Americans have perished in the defense of freedom than were sacrificed in the Twin Towers. The destruction of the Twin Towers and the loved ones within was evil incarnate. The loss of our civil liberties to 'Homeland Security' is incalculable. incalcu-lable. " Boudicca Joseph, Big Water "Life has changed because of Sept. 11, 2001, bringing a stronger faith in God and a fierce belief in our country. I feel pride in Americans as they display dis-play their loyalty with flags, . actions, and song. Evil cannot conquer us if we stand strong against it - together! America is Beautiful! " Vicki D Syrett Tropic "My wife Kay and I are directly affected because of the drastic decline in tourism. The illusion of 911 is over and now reality is rearing its ugly head. The system is collapsing a little more every day. What's left of America is headed towards an economic meltdown. Are you prepared to deal with it? I hope so." Larry Ripplinger Boulder "Before 9111 I felt that the USA was safe from overseas attacks. I am glad we have George W. Bush and his team leading our country at this time of crisis. 911 created in me a greater love for my country, our military, our flag, and our heritage her-itage of freedom. We must continue con-tinue on course and remove those from power who support and contribute to terrorism. " Mike Noel . Candidate-Elect Utah State House of Representatives District 73 Kanab "Since 911 1 have been more sensitive to others; saddened by the violence that continues in our land, our families and around the world; more aware of pain world wide; more drawn to pray for those in need, our leaders, especially President Bush, for the safety of people as they travel, and for our nation. " Harriet Priska Escalante "I firmly believe that the events of 9-11 are the work of very sinister forces in this country coun-try with ties to the State of Israel. These people are orchestrating orches-trating this event, in order to draw the USA into the Israeli conflict. See WWW. VOTE-FRAUD. VOTE-FRAUD. ORG" Mark Faux West Jordan "Airport security following 911 slightly impacted my life, but it made me very angry. If it would have been possible, I would have dropped a 5000-pound 5000-pound bomb in a major city of each country that harbors terrorists. ter-rorists. ' Let their populace know the fear of a terror attack!" Earl Roe Panguitch "Last year illustrated to us the very worst in human behavior behav-ior and the very best. It exposed the basest and most selfish vile intentions and the most courageous coura-geous acts of self sacrifice. . It was the worst of days, and the best of days when mankind's true colors showed forth to g ive us determination for a better future from the best examples brought forth that day. " Karen Munson Escalante "Since 911 I have tried to become more real, begun to slow down, done my best to listen lis-ten to and trust God and really tried to love everyone. Because God is love, and Jesus Christ is our example, we should ever live to make intercession (pray) for one another and look for the good rather than the bad in everyone. The simple commandment com-mandment to 'love one another' encompasses all" . Nancy Twitchell Tropic V |
