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 Soldiers are one
Of our greatest assets!
God Bless
