Remembering September 11, 2001

9/11/2014

September 11th is a solemn day for America. We take the time time today to remember the innocent Americans who died in 2001, as well as give thought to their friends and families who, after that day, would never be the same. It is also a day to remind ourselves as a country, to be constantly vigilant against those who would cause harm to America. One of the great challenges our nation faces is to gain the ability to understand who our enemies are, and then appropriately determine the use of our resources wisely against them.
    We should take today to learn the lesson of wariness, not hastiness, when engaging in war posturing for adventures that will only cause America more harm than good. We should always be wise in our decision making, and distinguish the real threats to America from others. Above everything remember to give thanks to the brave young and women who gave their lives and those who continue to put their lives on the line for us to enjoy our freedom.

9/3/2014

0 Comments

 
The Vietnam Veterans of America have reviewed Last Plane Out on their "Books in Review II" page! "Regardless of a reader’s attitude about the Vietnam War, Richard Pena’s Last Plane Out of Saigon, written with John Hagan, offers insights worth reflecting upon four decades after the fact." The review also stated that "The collaborators reach two conclusions: First, they agree that wars such as Vietnam are destructive to America’s society and economy. Second, they emphasize the need to learn from foreign policy failures and mistakes."
