Thank you, Ukraine and you, Alla, for your remembrance! It is appreciated by all Americans and believe me, All Americans lost so much that terrible day. Many of whom were innocent lost their lives and what of their husbands, wives, and children who lost part of their family, as well as Fathers, Mothers, sisters, brothers, Aunts, Uncles, even Grandparents. It pains me more than I can bear. We lost all of those, yet we lost part of our own lives and our own freedoms to filth from another people and another country, fanatics full of hatred, sickened religious zealots, who know nothing of religion, but their own stupidity and failed, fractured views of something sick that they refer to as their religion, but not of God. NO! never of God!!! Think you, dear Ukraine, that you lost nothing that day? You're so very wrong! Every nation in this world that now looks over their shoulders at anyone who even resembles those people, lost freedom and happiness and safety. Here, people who never would otherwise have thought to even own a gun, much less carry it, out in the world, now do. They got guns and legal permits to carry them because we will defend our freedoms and our liberties. We will not give in to those who would steal from us our right to live as we choose! We have more than enough fiends, trash, and foul zealots of false religions here in my country, and many of us would protect another from those defecations of religion in a simple second. You, my Ukraine have them too! You are my country too, by choice! And even there I will protect your citizens from such evil myself. The thing to do is to become aware of them and their proximity to you, each of you. Let them know who you are and that you know who they are. Those in my city here know me when they see me, and I have seen them leave a store when they see me there. I don't threaten them in any way and I have no idea how they know who I am. I'll tell you this though, they know others like me as well and know we are not alone. We will protect our own and yours that are here and over there. We do not discriminate, until they incriminate themselves. We all have a right to live in peace and we should all protect that right, for ALL of us, for our women and children who cannot defend themselves We stand as defenders here and abroad. I wish you all happy lives in the Peace of our God! Only a defender can help protect that right for you. Do not sit by and let some filth from another country take your rights and privileges from you, from your parents, grandparents and your children. Do not let them reduce you to live in fear Instead of our God-given happiness. That's little enough to ask. Again, Thank You, my Ukraine, and Alla for thinking of us. I salute your courage! God Bless! Ray!
