We will never forget



I still remember sitting at work that morning and hearing on the radio that a plane had hit one of the twin towers. At that time they were assuming it was a small commuter plane and it had nothing to do with a terrorist attack. We sat there, ears glued to the radio for more news, and wishing we weren't being interrupted by costumers! (I was working at a bank drive up at the time) It was a very strange feeling as the details came out, realizing our country was not as safe as we had though, and seeing just how vulnerable we were!
Today, it's good to remember that even if we don't understand it, God is in control. May we never forget that!


If tomorrow all the things were gone,
I’d worked for all my life.
And I had to start again,
with just my children and my wife.

I’d thank my lucky stars,
to be livin here today.
‘Cause the flag still stands for freedom,
and they can’t take that away.

And I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

From the lakes of Minnesota,
to the hills of Tennessee.
Across the plains of Texas,
From sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to Houston,
and New York to L.A.
Well there's pride in every American heart,
and its time we stand and say.

That I’m proud to be an American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

And I’m proud to be and American,
where at least I know I’m free.
And I wont forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,
next to you and defend her still today.
‘Cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land,
God bless the USA.

Yeah, I agree...people tend to forget pretty fast, even with the huge impact it made on people at the time.
The kids saw video's & talked about it in school today tho
