			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" style="margin-left: 5px; margin-right: 5px;" title="Ken and Jennifer Lewis" src="http://www.ableveterans.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/kennifer.jpg" alt="" width="262" height="365" />My first cousin and his wife, Kenny and Jennifer, were killed 7 years ago today when the plane they were flight attendants on was hijacked and flown into the Pentagon at about this time of day. Watching the memorial services this morning has the harsh realities of that day and the pain swelling up again as if it were just yesterday. I will never forget those we lost that day.</p>
<p>Neither will I ever forget those who enlisted into our military since then to &#8220;make a difference&#8221; or those in uniform that have served prior to 9-11. For those of you who have been injured in Afghanistan and Iraq I wish I could thank you in person&#8230; <strong>thank you</strong>. For those of you who have lost loved ones who were courageously serving their countrymen I&#8217;m sincerely sorry for your loss. But know this&#8230; their death was not in vain and your fellow Americans are extraordinarily grateful for what they have done for all of us, especially us family members of loved ones lost on September 11th 2001.</p>
<p>This short video (1:55) features an Iraq War veteran, definitely an Able Veteran, explaining why the Iraq War was not a mistake. I hope millions of people watch it to get a different perspective on the Iraq War.</p>

<p>An AP photo of the honor guards marching near the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Va., during the ceremonial Changing of the Guard, Sunday, Nov. 11, 2007.</p>
<p>My dad is buried at Arlington National Cemetery and I&#8217;m thinking of him and the other unknown soldiers buried there. So many tomb stones, so many names, so many unknown stories. Whenever I think of the soldiers buried there I don&#8217;t feel sadness, I feel pride. Although unknown individually they&#8217;re all well known. Well known as the strongest and bravest our country has known.</p>
<p>God bless all of you soldiers.</p>
