I'll add to that Hang and say we came together as a nation, one people, on December 7th, 1941.
There's been other moments, too. But, with that observation crops up an oddity.. a quirk we have I guess. Any number of crimes can be committed against the citizens of this nation abroad.. children can be kidnapped, raped, abused, sold into slavery... our citizens abroad snatched off the streets, decapitated on video. Our soldiers, fallen in combat, dragged thru the streets... even our warships, like the USS Liberty attacked with many lives lost.. we'll absorb that. It seems that any number of atrocities may be committed against our people, the symbols of our nation when abroad..
But if someone... any foreign entity; should have the temerity to attack our Nations citizens
on this sovereign soil, there's gonna be hell to pay.
Use caution with this link... language. Funny.. but considering the source, telling.
