Be Still in Graditute For Life Preserved

As I watch and listen to the news of Bin Ladin's death, I feel moved as an American and proud of a wrong finally done right, but however I choose to remain still.  I don't feel that an outward celebration is right for my Being.  I choose to remain still in gratitude, in meditation, and prayer for our nation.  In this time it is important not to celebrate death but to celebrate Life in the respects that by Bin Ladin's death it has preserved other lives.  In addition it is important to remember what our country was founding on and the visions that our Founding Father's had.
Today, my gratitude, prayers, and energy to directed to our soldiers for their sacrifices, love for our country and over all dedication for the good of the cause.

While the storm clouds gather far across the sea,

 Let Us swear Allegiance to a Land that's free,

 Let Us All be grateful for a Land so fair,

As We raise our Voices in a Solemn Prayer.
God Bless America,
Land that I Love.
Stand beside Her, and guide Her
Through the Night with a Light from Above.
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans, white with foam
God bless America, My Home sweet Home.

A little piece of George W. Bush's speech to Joint Session of Congress on September 20, 2011.

"I will not forget this Wound to Our Country or those who inflicted it. I will not yield; I will not rest; I will not relent in waging this Struggle for Freedom and Security for the American people. The Course of this Conflict is not known, yet Its Outcome is certain. Freedom and Fear, Justice and Cruelty, have always been at war, and We KNOW that God is not neutral between them.

Fellow citizens, we'll meet Violence with Patient Justice -- assured of the Rightness of Our Cause, and Confident of the Victories to come. In all that lies before Us, may God grant Us Wisdom, and may He watch over the United States of America."

^{Pslams 46}

¹  God is our refuge and strength,
   an ever-present help in trouble.
² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
   and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
³ though its waters roar and foam
   and the mountains quake with their surging.^[c]

 ⁴ There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
   the holy place where the Most High dwells.
⁵ God is within her, she will not fall;
   God will help her at break of day.
⁶ Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall;
   he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

 ⁷ The LORD Almighty is with us;
   the God of Jacob is our fortress.

 ⁸ Come and see what the LORD has done,
   the desolations he has brought on the earth.
⁹ He makes wars cease
   to the ends of the earth.
He breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
   he burns the shields^[d] with fire.
¹⁰ He says, “Be still, and know that I am God;
   I will be exalted among the nations,
   I will be exalted in the earth.”

 ¹¹ The LORD Almighty is with us;
   the God of Jacob is our fortress.
