Today, We've Had A National Tragedy
Freedom Itself Was Attacked This Morning
& Freedom Will Be Defended"

"For The Lives Lost"
"September 11,2001
The Day America Wept"
"God Bless You New York City"
"God Bless You Virginia"
I pledge allegiance to the flag,
of the United States of America,
and to the republic
for which it stands,
one nation, under God,
indivisible,
with liberty and justice for All
"And I pray alongside and ENTIRE NATION":
To all the lost lives and their families,
to all the injured and their families...
to someones mom or dad or grandparent...
to the emergency personel who risked their lives, and their families...
to those who need a shoulder to cry on to mourn their lost loved ones.
To the people on the flights that crashed who
were trying to get home to their families.
those whose families were their last thoughts as their planes crashed...
to those still missing under the rubble....and their families...
our prayers are with you.
Justice will prevail in the end.... you will never be forgotten.
Amen

"September 12, 2001, Where We Begin To Go Forward"
"May This Bring You Solace"
It's a terrible thing that happened today
And New York will never be the same
An attack upon the U.S.A.
As part of some terrorist game.
Lives were lost so tragically
And many more will change
All because of hateful groups
Their viewpoints so derranged.
We must rise above the tragedy
And show that we won't fall
Already such an outpouring
Of love and help from all.
God, Watch over America,
Please help justice be found.
The nation went to war today
Let strength and faith abound.

wearing a cap and sweatshirt emblazoned with logos of

with precision to identify the terrorists and their accomplices.

who was trying to save a woman's life outside the first tower,
even as his own sister was aboard the United Airlines plane
that was about to hit the second tower.
I am the rescue personnel who toil to the point of exhaustion,
take a break--
and then get back to the most grisly and
heartbreaking work imaginable.
I am the millions of Americans who will mourn,
weep, pray--and never forget.
I am the spirit of America,
and I am alive and strong, and you can never kill me.
