Jamaican Till I Die!

I remember after 9/11 I saw American unity on display for the world to see. It did not matter what race or religion they were, at that time none of that mattered because they were all Americans. It reminded me of that famous quote by Isoroku Yamamoto after the Pearl Harbor attack. “I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve”.
