This poem is dedicated to all the men and women who lost their lives on that day. And also to those who risked or lost their lives in the aftermath. God Bless the United States of America.
9/11/01 We’ll never forget where we were on that day At eight-forty six when the announcer did say, The Twin Tower was struck, Oh, dear Lord was it someone’s bad luck? We’ll never forget just seven minutes later We learned dear Lord our country under siege We pray dear Lord, We were down on our knees. When next we did learn our Pentagon was Under attack, Our hearts stood still, we couldn’t look back. We remember praying and standing still What’s next dear Lord We felt the chill. Flight 93 was meant to be A target too, but yet you see. The passengers, they held out to hope They bravely stopped, the fate of that flight. They held on to you Lord knowing their plight. And when they did go, their lives took the toll, He said so clearly, Let’s Roll! Written by Kathryn Neff Perry ©copyright 2008 All rights reserved.

I was in the livingroom watching the Today show when the news broke. What I saw next is forever burned in memory, and I still cry today when I think of what happened. God bless America again, and NEVER forget!! I won't, and I CAN'T.
