US
Troops Raise NYC Flag
Over Afghanistan Base
By Doug
Mellgren
The Associated Press
American
Troops raised a flag of New York
City given to them by city
firefighters over the new U.S.
base in the Afghan desert Friday
to honor victims of the World
Trade Center attack..
The flag was brought to the base
by reservists from the Navy
Seabee 133rd Construction
Battalion, who joined Marines
already deployed here, arriving
from Guam aboard a C-17
transport aircraft early Friday.
They raised the flag-orange,
white and blue with the city
seal in the center-just below a
U.S. flag on the same bamboo
pole Friday morning, while
Marines continued to dig around
the base perimeter
and hone their weapons
skills.
"Two of our reservists had
friends in the )World Trade
Center) building, so when
firefighters said "Will you
do us a favor? Wherever you go,
please fly this flag to remember
those people, we said
'yes,'" Seabee
Chief Petty Officer Robert
Tanner said.
Many of the reservists worked as
Port Authority police and in
similar jobs and helped in the
rescue efforts after the suicide
hijackers' Sept. 11 attacks on
the twin towers, said Tanner,
40, of Rensselaerville, N.Y.
The Seabees also flew the flag
in Guam, where they are usually
based.
The Seabees were sent here to
improve the hard-sand airstrip
and the camp..
The old airfield, seized Sunday
night by the Marines, is within
striking distance of Kandahar,
the spiritual center and last
major stronghold of
Afghanistan's Taliban movement. |

Merry Christmas Bin
Laden
Merry
Christmas Bin Laden
Twas the night before Payback
and all through the Land,
They're running like rabbits in
Afghanistan,
Osama's been praying, he's down on
his Knees,
He's hoping that Allah will hear
all his Pleas.
He thought if he killed us that
we'd fall and Shatter,
But all that he's done is just
make us Madder.
We ain't yet forgotten our Marines
in Beirut,
And we'll kick your butt, with one
heavy Boot.
And yes we remember the USS Cole,
And the lives of our sailors that
you bastards Stole.
You think you can rule us and
cause us to Fear,
You'll soon get the answer if you
live to Hear.
And we ain't forgotten your buddy
Saddam,
And he ain't forgotten the sound
of our Bombs.
You think that those mountains are
somewhere to Hide.
They'll go down in history as the
place where you Died.
Remember Khadhafi and his Line of
Death?
He came very close, to his final Breath.
So come out and prove it, that you
are a Man,
Cause our boys are coming and they
have a Plan.
They are our fathers and they are
our Sons,
And they sure do carry some mighty
big Guns.
They would have stayed home with
children and Wives,
Till you bastards came here and took all
these Lives.
Osama I wrote this especially for
You,
For air mail delivery by B-52.
You soon will be hearing a thud
and a whistle,
Old Glory is coming, attached to a
Missile.
I will not be sorry to see your
ass Go.
It's Red,
White,
and Blue
that is running this Show. |

This
very special gift was
left
in my guestbook by
a
young boy from the
Netherlands-
Danny Stomphorst..
This is what Danny wrote
"On my page is
an Memorial picture
from
me and my
mamas friend
his son Waleed.
He also
died that terrible
day
the 11 september .
He
was on his way home in
Flight 11AA, but never
came home
again. His
papa Joseph still blames
it all to himself
because he asked
Waleed
to come home because he
missed him so. But now
he have to miss him for
ever, like a lot of
people
have to miss
there beloved
ones."
