Have you forgotten?

I hear people sayin' we don't need this war. I say there's some things worth fightin' for.What about our freedom, and this piece of ground? We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.

They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in

Before you start your preachin' let me ask you this my friend

Have you forgotten?


Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away, Have you forgotten, when those towers fell

We had neighbors still inside goin' through a livin' hell

And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?




They took all the footage off my T.V.

Said it's too disturbing for you and me

It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say

If it was up to me I'd show it everyday

Some say this country's just out looking for a fight

After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right

Have you forgotten all the people killed?

Some went down like hero's in that Pennsylvania field

Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?

All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on

Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

The comments I posted are actually lyrics to a song by Darryl Worley , written after that fateful day when this great nation would forever be changed. My 9/11 post was going to be a recounting of my morning, a look back at where I was and what I was doing. In retrospect, what I was doing didn't matter. But I think this post says it all.

May God continue to Bless this country and Let Us Never Forget!

Thank you, Miss Janice.

That Darrell Worley song never fails to give me chills.

It just blows me away how cavalier people are these days about 9/11. It's like it never happened to them.

I will never forget and I will never forgive. (Those Islamos think they can carry a grudge? Hah! They haven't met me...)

God bless George W Bush. I will miss him so much. I haven't always agreed with him on all the issues but his absolute and utter commitment to keeping this country safe deserves great praise.
