My friend Eric wrote this yesterday and I thought it was amazing! What a great writer the ole' banker is..and what a great way to remember that September day. Thanks Eric!
It was years ago but the image still strong;
as the towers fell, our innocence was gone.
Have we forgotten what happened that day;
As the sirens wailed, and lives crumbled away?
Have we lost the will and resolve to fight;
to punish the wrong and defend the right?
Where were you when you heard the news
that our beloved country was attacked and bruised?
Do we not remember the anguish and pain;
the feeling that the world had gone insane?
How much longer can we remain out of sight
as those all around chant "Let's quit; not fight"?
Will you do the right thing and stand with me?
Or will you hide your face and blame the country?
The moment has come and the time is now.
Will we stand up and fight or quit and bow?
As I sit here and gaze at our banner half mast,
a phrase comes to mind: Never Forget The Past.
God bless all lost on September 11, 2001
and those lost in the response to defend
Liberty around the world.
