Due to the tragic events that have happened to the City of New York and Washington September, 11, 2001 I have choosen to make this main index page of my site a memorial. At this time I would like to express my heartfelt sympathy to all the Innocent Victims and Rescue Workers whos lives were taken in this senseless act of terrorism. My prayers and thoughts are with their families. You may enter The Crouse House through the link at the bottom of the page.

Come
with me to gather
Love from up above
Jesus waiting for your
soul
His Heart so filled with
love
Now the journey over
Your new life now begins
Love within horizon
With angel's guarded
wings
Come a little closer
Pass the portal here
Love in new beginning
Friends and family near
Step into the heavens
Peace will touch with
grace
Sorrows gone forever
Memories erased
Love will gather round
you
Welcome sweet repair
Arms of Jesus holding
His Heart the joy you
wear
Come to me I'll help you
I'm reaching for your
hand
Bring you love forever
Within God's promised
land.

I have adopted this Memorial Plaque at Lady Madona's to honor those who lost there lives.
But to honor Lt Col Dennis Johnson of the United States Army.
 
In the aftermath of September, 11, 2001 many emails have circulated throughout the net. Many causing alarm to the American Public. There is an excellent site called Truth or Fiction where you can visit to see what is "True" and was in "Not".

I AM THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
I am the flag of the United States of America.
My name is Old Glory.
I fly atop the world's tallest buildings.
I stand watch in America's halls of justice.
I fly majestically over institutions of learning.
I stand guard with power in the world.
Look up and see me.
I stand for peace, honor,truth and justice.
I stand for freedom.
I am confident.
I am arrogant.
I am proud.
When I am flown with my fellow banners,
my head is a little higher, my colors a little truer.
I bow to no one!
I am recognized all over the world.
I am worshipped - I am saluted.
I am loved - I am revered.
I am respected - I am feared.
I have fought in every battle of every war for more than 200 years.
I was flown at Valley Forge, Gettysburg, Shiloh and Appamatox.
I was there at San Juan Hill,
the trenches of France,
in the Argonne Forest, Anzio, Rome,
and the beaches of Normandy, Guam, Okinawa, Korea,
and KheSan, Saigon, Vietnam now me.
I was there.
I lead my troops.
I was dirty, battleworn, and tired,
but my soldiers cheered me and I was proud.
I have been burned, torn and trampled
on the streets of countries I have helped set free.
It does not hurt, for I am invincible.
I have been soiled upon, burned and torn and trampled on the streets of MY country.
And when it's by those whom I've served in battle - it hurts.
But I shall overcome - for I am strong.
I have slipped the bonds of Earth
and stood watch over the uncharted froniters of space
from my vantage point on the moon.
I have borne silent witness to all of America's finest hours.
But my finest hours are yet to come.
When I am torn into strips and used as bandages
for my wounded comrades on the battlefield,
When I am flown at half-mast to honor my soldier,
or when I lie in the trembling arms of a grieving parent at the grave of their fallen son or daughter, I am proud.
MY NAME IS OLD GLORY
LONG MAY I WAVE.
DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN
LONG MAY I WAVE.
PLEASE FORWARD MY MESSAGE TO ALL WHO STILL LOVE AND RESPECT ME, THAT I MAY FLY PROUDLY FOR ANOTHER TWO HUNDRED YEARS!
Please leave your condolences in the guestbook provided
