It appears that our way of life, our liberty, our security and yes, even our children are now preferred targets for radical Islamic terrorists who regard us as nothing but a blight on Allah s planet. They refer to us as infidels and our country as the Great Satan. They danced in the streets when they saw the murderous acts first hand on their television screens. These acts were in fact the bloodiest calculated terrorist attack in world history. We are at war.
American families are now at risk just because they are American.
This issue of our publication is dedicated to those innocent victims that lost their lives in New York City, Washington D.C., and near Pittsburgh. We mourn with the family members left behind and pray that God will give them the strength necessary to carry on. In the Chaffins section of our town, many are placing white electric Christmas candle lights in their windows as a sign of solidarity with the families that are suffering. A candle sends a message of hope on a dark night. Many candles combined provide a great deal of light on a very dark time in our country s history.
