Helping & Caring for our local Long Island Hero's.

Salvatore Esposito is an army veteran from Holbrook. His Queens based unit's accomplishments in the war on terror have been covered in Newsday and on CBS Television. His published novel, Revision,  is about the personal development of the main character, a native LIer, from an education in diversity and forgiveness. It is a parallel of his lifetime on Long Island and in Iraq. He spends a lot of time coordinating fund raising events for the Wounded Warrior Project, a charity aimed at assisting our permanently disabled veterans.

Acknowledging The Terrorist Threat - Part II  

Just as I told you in previous articles, as any other experienced soldier will tell you, the enemies of peace and democracy come from all walks of life.

Another terrorist plot was uncovered in England recently. Six physicians are among eight suspects in the failed terror attacks, including one from Iraq, one from Jordan, two from India and a man identified by hospital staff as being from Lebanon. When I was caring for detainees at Abu Ghraib I certainly had a share of doctors, teachers, lawyers, and even holy men under my care. These men do not distinguish between military and civilian when they seek to bring carnage and death. So it figures that terrorists and insurgents (or whatever liberals want to pacify them as) are both of professional and unprofessional backgrounds. Al-Qaida's No. 2 leader, Ayman al-Zawahri, is a trained physician. Ask yourselves, Long Island, is he more qualified to save a life or to take a life?

Insurgent groups show how much the United States is hated by the world. This hatred stems from jealousy. Through their spite they underestimate our strengths. Their groups are as diversified as our people but their common petty, jealous mindset hurls them back thousands of years. When they are not trying to attack democracy they are busy destroying their own. Remember to keep our soldiers in prayer. If it was not for them these terrorists might have taken us down with them by now.
