WWII Battle Cry Poster.

For every major battle or attack on our sovereign ground, where American soil ran red from the blood of killed Americans, we have had a rallying or “Battle Cry” such as “Remember the Alamo”. When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor and the blue-green water was stained blood red, the Nation pulled together in a shared spirit of Espirit de Corps to “Avenge December 7”. From recruiting offices, to train stations and even on factory floors, posters were hung to remind us what we were fighting for.

A Battle Cry said either in unison or simply as an individual mantra solidifies ones resolve. It provides energy when you cannot take another step. It can be a word, a phrase or even an inarticulate word such as the Marine Corps’ OORAHHHH! A battle cry serves to rally those in battle and remind them why they are fighting. It also extends to those that support the troops and a nation as a whole. The etymology of the words “battle cry” is common to both “motto” and “slogan”. Such as, “Don’t Tread on Me” (used by Continental Marines and others during American Revolution), “Be Prepared” (Boy Scouts of America) “In God We Trust” (United States of America), “We Dare to Defend Our Rights” (Alabama State Motto). They are also important in the business world, but known as slogans. We all recognize slogans such as “I’m Lovin’ It” (McDonalds), “Just Do It” (Nike), and “Where Dreams Come True” (Walt Disney World). They also extend to political campaigns, like “Forward”.

On September 11, 2001 a group of men hijacked four jets and flew them into each of the Twin Towers, the Pentagon and if not for the brave men and women aboard Flight 93 crashing the plane into the countryside of Shanksville, PA either the US Capital or even the White House would have been destroyed. Since then we have vowed to “Never Forget”. I and many like me will never forget the cowardice act that these men and the religion they represent, perpetrated upon innocent human beings. They believe that everyone must profess Islam as the true religion, and if you do not you should die. No other religion requires such acts. They continue to attack the world in general and the USA and Israel specifically.

One year ago today 9/11 2012, Muslim men attacked our consulate in Benghazi, Libya on the 11^th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. As yet we do not have an official battle cry for Benghazi, because we are a divided nation. Many (not all) on the Left have no idea what happened; those that do have no burning desire to pursue the issue. You know why? This administration, with assistance from the mainstream media has not led the charge to bring these attackers to justice. Between outright lies about a video, to differing and

changing stories, to slow rolling FBI investigation, to hiding witnesses, this Administration has not done much to right this wrong. Once again, US soil ran red with American blood—the blood of Ambassador Chris Stevens, Sean Smith (Information Management Officer), Glen Doherty and Tyrone Woods. Both Doherty and Woods were former USN SEALs. We need to find, apprehend, try, and prosecute the killers to the fullest extent of miltary law. We need a battle cry for Benghazi; I believe “Remember Benghazi” is fitting. We need something done. We need in the words of Nike "JUST DO IT". We need to change the only battle cry that was heard during the eight hour Battle in Benghazi—the Battle Cry of our enemy as they rallied to kill Americans—they cried
