"I am coming"

I Am Coming!





Dear Terrorists,
I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and raised in a small town in New England. I come from a family of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my values by my mother and father.

My dad worked a series of jobs in finance and my mom took care of us kids. We were not an overly religious family but attended church most Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal Church. I have a brother and
sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was the first in many generations to attend college.

I have flown Naval aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong dream or a "calling," it just happened. I needed a job and I liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel it is important to give back to a nation which has given so much to me. I do it because, although I will never be rich, my family will be comfortable.

I do it because many of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do it.

My government has spent millions to train me to fly these
multi-million dollar aircrafts. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20 years will be offered a pension.

I like baseball but think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and! like teachers, they just don't get paid enough.

I respect my elders and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for every generation.

I tell you all this because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a U.S. issue flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear, and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US warplane. I wish we could
meet up close in a small room where I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze the life out of you, but u nfortunately, you're hiding in a hole in the ground, so we will have to do this a different way.

I want you to know also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000 lb weapon through a window from 10,000 feet up. I generally only fly at night, so you may want to start sleeping during the day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like you.

I will do everything in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at you.

My countrymen are a forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!

I am coming! I hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon...sleep tight.

Signed

A U.S. Navy Pilot

Our Soldiers are one

of our greatest assets!

God Bless

Outstanding letter…

I just wish the majority of Americans had half the courage that our military men and women have, enough to at least stand up for themselves and shout down the cowards in this country that for what ever reason don’t have the courage to stand up to terrorist in relationship to the war on terror going on in the Middle East.

We have Afghanistan and Iraq at the moment and now Iran has entered the scene and needs to be dealt with accordingly but too many Americans are coward and backing down. To over shadow their coward behavior they use terms such as ”we were lied to”, “we should leave those people alone”, “we have no right to be there or do what we are doing”, “our government is just aggressive and puts their nose in other peoples business”, and two of the funniest are ”they are freedom fighters”, “who’s to say we are right and they are wrong, or we are good and they are evil”

Those are all coward excuses used by people that rather then just shutting up and letting those with courage stand up for their and every citizens rights, feel the need, due to extreme fear, and extreme coward behavior, to help terrorist with their fight by splitting the good people against the evil people…

People with courage will tell you the facts are we are good and they, the Middle East, is evil, that we are right and the Middle East is wrong, there is no other truth regardless what cowards would lead you to believe…

I can't take credit for the letter. A couple of us ex-GIs from work email military stuff back and forth that we come across.

"We will not go quietly into the night!

We will not vanish without a fight!

We're going to live on!

We're going to survive!"

Today, we celebrate our Independence Day!



From the Presidents speech in the movie "Independance Day".

I think it's fitting.
