Stunned... Stunned for days... Dazed, lost... somewhere in thought... Caught by raw... thoughts of war. Comes the morning... nothing now is distant, nothing now is beyond now, nothing ever-more will be the same. The moment-lost Tuesday (September 11, 2001) was as a stumble that twisted us to a new road and we walk it now as we've never taken a step before... and when comes the morning, we stand unified; a nation, a people mourning... a way of living attacked and forever gone. ... Though stunned, we still stand in defiance. We WILL snap back, standing on the unity of the people of America, as AMERICANS UNITED...STRONG...STEADFAST...RESOLVED to raise The Flag in defiance of terror. Stunned, as anyone cheap-shotted would be, we, UNITED, will stand against all terrorism, all aggression, and all cowards. ... God Bless America... and Heaven help the world! Andrew D. Festa
