September 11th, 2001, a day that will live in infamy, America was attacked by an enemy that has sworn to attack western civilization and eradicate all of the infidels.This is not the story of Islam’s obligation under Sharia Law and the Koran to wipe us out. No, this is the story of Michelle Renee Bratton, a victim of an attack upon America, in a war she did not start, and was not aware of. You see, Michelle was not a soldier, not an agent of the United States of America, not an enemy of or a threat to Islam, she was only a 23 year old woman seeking to make her way in the world.Michelle is survived by her parents, William and Mary Bratton at home and her two brothers; William Bratton III of Long Island and Christopher Bratton of Yonkers and her sister, Erin Bratton of New York. Miss Bratton was a cheerleader in high school and on the dive team. She is described by her friends and classmates as a young lady full of cheer, with a zest for life and a love for people.August 6th, 2001 Michelle began her career with Cantor Fitzgerald’s eSpeed Division, as an executive assistant. Prior to that she attended the State University of New York College at Oswego, where she was a life guard, willing to put herself in harms way, for the defense of others and a competitive diver. As if college, diving and working as a life guard weren’t enough, she was also a member of Sigma Delta Tau sorority.“She would mentor new sorority people, get them ready for rush, and keep them strong,” Mrs. Bratton said. “She would always be the one behind them giving them that extra push.” An inspiration to others, someone looked up to and loved by all who knew her, went off to work on September 11, 2001, just like the rest of America, doing what we all do, living.Madonna fan, avowed shop until you drop maniac, a person seeking to become an educator, to improve society, someone who lived life to the fullest and touched the lives of those around her every day, she died doing what she loved, working. Almost everyone who died that day died working, died living as a free American, in a free country, doing what people do, living. As I write this I know that I can never fully capture the essence of Michelle, or anyone else who died that day. Mere words can never replace a person, or take away the loss from their family and friends.Michelle did not die curing cancer, saving the rain forest, or protecting the lives of others. Michelle died for the very thing B. Hussein Obama is trying to destroy, capitalism. As you go about your day today, as you go about your life, each and every day, remember what it is that made America the greatest nation in the world, people like Michelle, who participated in capitalism, lived their lives to the fullest and made the American dream their dream.Do not let your dreams slip through your fingers. Dreams are meant to be lived, to the fullest, each and every day. Making your dreams your reality is Michelle’s way and I ask you to make it your way too.Not for Michelle, for she is gone, but for those around you, who deserve your love, your life force, your energy and to be a part of your dream, as it comes true. On 9/11 make this the day you turn dreams into reality, your reality. Thank you Michelle for reminding America that dreams do come true.
