They failed BIG TIME!!!

Many of you were probably expecting a video from me today given the importance of such a day...
The fact of the matter is, given how fired up I get about this great nation of ours and how much it means to me, there's no way I could fit everything that is on my mind and in my heart into one video.
Today marks the ten year anniversary of the cowardous and atrocious acts of terrorism that took the lives of so many American men, women and children.
I cannot and will not try to understand the reasoning behind such an inhumane act, nor will I believe that any God rewards such indignities...
I will never truly know how painful it must be for the families of those that lost loved ones....
There are so many things that still puzzle me about how people can carry out such evil acts on each other...
However there are a few things I'm certain about...
If it was there goal to demoralize and cripple this great nation that I, you, we call home, then they failed miserably!!!
This nation was not founded on a bunch of quitters...
When we get knocked down we don't cower like a bunch of pussies!!!
We lick our wounds and come back STRONGER!!!
And that's just what we did!!!
It's called resolve...perseverance...resilience....
It's the heart of a champion, and when you have it inside, no body or nothing can take it away.
We had it before September 11th, 2001 and we have it still today...
The only change has been the one thing these cowards didn't count on, the power of mankind to come together and rise up in the face of adversity under the ideals that this great nation was founded on.
You didn't bring us to our knees...you brought us to our feet!!!
You didn't tear us apart...you brought us together!!!
You didn't weaken us...you made us stronger!!!
To all of the First Responders...to all of our Military Men/Women past and present...Thank you for the gift that you have given me...
I will never forget your sacrifice in the face of such adversity, and ALWAYS live the life that you all so courageously live on a daily basis...
God Bless America!!!
Stay Strong and Stay SWOLE!!!
