The following poem was written on the afternoon of 9-11. It relates to the sorrow and pain of our country losing loved ones in a senseless killing of innocence in the deaths of 2,973.
“Red, White and Blue” copyright 9-11-2001 John J. Rigo
Red, White and Blue are the colors before me on this day.
It will be a day remembered by numbers used to summon help.
Nine, One and One, bring only the recall of white dust,
rock, and twisted steel in a sea of sorrow.
Can these tears wash away the pain
that this day brings?
Tears shed for those we love and are no more.
I cry out for my Brothers and Sisters in the depth of pain
that befalls their hearts.
Could there be a greater sin,
then a day so dark?
I think not.
I pray for peace, comfort, and hope,
for the souls rejoined with my Lord this day.
Red, White and Blue,
I cling to thee for hope, peace,
and healing in Thee.
For Thou are the only One,
Who can bring sense to this gruesome day of pain.

Personal Story: I was born and raised in New York City. My younger, and only brother, Richard Rigo of Smithtown, New York worked as a building engineer within blocks of ground zero. He commuted every day to his building in the city from Smithtown.
On the morning of the attacks, my concern was for his safety. Blessfully, he was on his way to work when the attacks began. He returned home safely.

My Concealed Carry Gun, a Ruger P90, a semi-auto 45, copyright 2014 John J. Rigo
Of all the civilized countries in the world, the population of the United States has the most well-armed citizens in the world. We have something in the Constitution of the United States called the Second Amendment that allows us to be so armed.
9/11 is a day of sorrow for our nation in remembering the almost 3,000 innocent Americans that were killed by terrorist. 9/11 is also a day, that we as American citizens can demonstrate our will to stand up and defend our country from the likes of killers such as the evil face of ISIS.
My wife and I have had concealed carry licenses for almost 15 years. We are both proficient in handling a semi-automatic pistol. This coming 9/11 we will be insuring our carry that day. Any terrorist involved in attempting a terrorist act in our presence will be shot down like the evil they are.
We ask all American citizens that have Concealed Carry Licenses to carry on 9/11. We also ask all Americans who believe in “Open Carry” of rifles and shotguns to open carry in a public way on 9/11 to demonstrate to ISIS we will “not be” a nation that will hide in fear from their terror, but will bring death and destruction to them and their own who wish to harm the American people.
To my blog followers: Please Reblog this posting prior to 9/11 in order to get the word out to all Concealed Handgun permit holders and Open Carry Advocates. (Facts: There are over eight million Concealed Carry Licensees in the United States. In Texas it is estimated to be over 403,000 by last count).
“A Personal Note to My Followers” copyright 2014, John J. Rigo, Texas’ Commentator and Poet
Posted in Change in Rating status of a WordPress site, tagged A Personal Message to my WordPress followers, A WordPress site changed in status to "Mature", Please no followers under 18, WordPress rating of site changed on September 3, 2014| 4 Comments »
Saying courtesy of Google Image Search. “Father’s Day means Nothing to Me.”
A few days ago I changed the rating of my blog site from “General” to “Mature.” I do not wish anyone, male or female under 18 to follow my blog sites nor do I wish any exchanges of comments with anyone under 18. Sadly we live in a dark age where even the most innocent of us could suffer with the lies that many in this younger generation claim upon others. Additionally, if you are a “Lover” of President Obama and support him, I additionally request that you “unfollow” my blog sites. It is my personal opinion that President Obama is the worse thing that has ever happened to the United States of America. Thank You.
