God Bless the USA
By:Lee Greenwood

If tomorrow all the things were gone
I'd worked for all my life,
And I had to start again
with just my children and my wife,
I'd thank my lucky stars
to be living here today,
'Cause the flag still stands for freedom
and they can't take that away.
I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota
to the hills of Tennessee,
Across the plains of Texas
from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston
and New York to L.A.,
There's pride in every American heart
and it's time we stand and say:
I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
I'm proud to be an American
where at least I know I'm free,
And I won't forget the men who died
who gave that right to me,
And I gladly stand up next to you
and defend her still today,
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.

KABUL, Afghanistan - U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan marked the sixth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks Tuesday by watching in silence as an American flag was lowered to half-staff at a U.S. base.

Maj. Gen. Robert Cone told some 100 U.S. soldiers that there is "no alternative" to victory over terrorism.

"We are here now six years later, not as a conquering force, not as an invader seeking to vanquish the Afghans, but rather to do what is right _ to seek out and destroy our common enemy," Cone said. "As allies, we will train and equip the Afghans. We will help them to provide for their people because we are Americans."

The rado station I'm listening to is currently having a moment of silence

Least we never forget

[fenwaysmom]

United We Stand. Amen.

[Coal Man]

    I for one will never forget,
my neighbor I grew up with AnnMarie Riccoboni,
 who was there at work.

I also thank God my Brother-in Law and my second cousin (FDNY Ladder 1)survived.

"THE LADY"
(THE STATUE OF LIBERTY)
By:
Dana Holland, Staten Island NY
 

  I wonder what she thought
  As she stood there, strong and tall.
  She couldn't turn away,
  She was forced to watch it all.
 
  Did she long to offer comfort
  As Her country bled?
  With her arm forever frozen
  High above her head.
 
  She could not shield her eyes
  She could not hide her face
  She just stared across the water
  Keeping Freedom's Place.

  The smell of smoke and terror
  Somehow reduced her size
  So small within the harbor
  But still we recognized.....
 
  How dignified and beautiful
  On a day so many died
  I wonder what she thought,
  And I know she must have cried.
 
    This was written on the evening of September 11, 2001

Last year I visited Ground Zero

Being quite honest I cried

[DeJaVue]

Well Boops, if I had been there, I would have been crying right along with you.
That evening, we all came outside of our homes.
With the air traffic system shut down, I remember being struck by the eerie silence,
wondering what tomorrow would bring.
My dear hubby went back inside and brought out his guitar.
He began playing "God Bless America," and we sang with tears streaming down our faces.
Soon others joined in, and for that moment, we watched, we listened, we lit our candles, we kept the flag waving,
and our neighborhood came together and yes, we cried.

Well I got the strangest news from my sister, who went to a memorial service for AnnMarie Riccoboni with her daughter. Her daughter just got back her purse drivers licence and wallet recently and in the wallet was 9 dollars and 11 cents. They also got some other info as to where in the building she was since she never made it up to her office on the 86th floor because they were late because they went to breakfast for her birthday.

Oh my, Coal Man...9 dollars and 11 cents? Unbelieveable!!
