I Am
Coming!
Dear
Terrorists, I am a Navy Aviator. I was born and
raised in a small town in New England . I come from a family
of five. I was raised in a middle class home and taught my
values by my mother and father.
My dad worked a series
of jobs in finance and my mom took care of us kids. We were
not an overly religious family but attended church most
Sundays. It was a nice small Episcopal Church. I have a
brother and sister and I am the youngest in my family. I was
the first in many generations to attend
college.
I have flown Naval
aircraft for 16 years. For me the flying was never a lifelong
dream or a 'calling,' it just happened. I needed a job and I
liked the challenge. I continue to do it today because I feel
it is important to give back to a nation which has given so
much to me. I do it because, although I will never be rich, my
family will be comfortable.
I do it because many
of my friends have left for the airlines and someone has to do
it.
My government has
spent millions to train me to fly these multi-million dollar
aircraft. I make about 70,000 dollars a year and after 20
years will be offered a pension.
I like baseball but
think the players make too much money. I am in awe of firemen
and policemen and what they do each day for my community, and
like teachers, they just don't get paid
enough.
I respect my elders
and always use sir or ma'am when addressing a stranger. I'm
not sure about kids these days but I think that's normal for
every generation.
I tell you all this
because when I come for you, I want you to know me. I won't be
hiding behind a woman or a child. I won't be disguised or
pretending to be something I am not. I will be in a U.S. issue
flight suit. I will be wearing standard US issue flight gear,
and I will be flying a navy aircraft clearly marked as a US
warplane. I wish we could meet up close in a small room where
I could wrap my hands around your throat and slowly squeeze
the life out of you, but unfortunately, you're hiding in a
hole in the ground, so we will have to do this a different
way.
I want you to know
also that I am very good at what I do. I can put a 2,000 lb.
weapon through a window from 10,000 feet up. I generally only
fly at night, so you may want to start sleeping during the
day. I am not eager to die for my country but I am willing to
sacrifice my life to protect it from animals like
you.
I will do everything
in my power to ensure no civilians are hurt as I take aim at
you.
My countrymen are a
forgiving bunch. Many are already forgetting what you did on
Sept 11th. But I will not forget!!I am coming. I
hope you know me a little bit better, see you soon...sleep
tight.
Signed
A
U.S. Navy Pilot
Our Armed Forces are
one
of our
greatest assets!
God
Bless
