The current war against Islamic terrorism began in the 1970s. But the US was a victum of Barbary pirates in the 1790s. They were Islamic terrorist of that time attacking US shipping and taking prisoners as slaves. The US Navy and Marine Corps was created by act of Congress in 1795 as a direct result of this threat.
I am active duty US Air Force. I went out to sit a nuclear alert on 10 Sep 01 and returned to a different world on 14 Sep 01. I was "watching" over 10 nuclear intercontinental ballistic missiles.

This quote on the day by Shylock is very moving:
When the dust clears there will be a permanent memorial in the altered NYC skyline, like a missing man formation.
God bless all the families touched by this event 6 years ago - ALL OF US! >>
