My heart goes out to all people that have been hurt from the tragedy of Septemember 11th. My prayers go out for the whole world. God bless us all! Lee Greenwood, Country singer and composer 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 living here today, 'Cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can't take that away. I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't 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 U.S.A. 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., There's pride in every American heart and it's time we stand and say: I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free, And I won't 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 U.S.A. A friend sent me the picture above. This is the picture that gives me hope. My faith says that though many lost their earthy life, they went to Jesus to spend their eternal life. Faith is believing what you can't see. The graphic is signed, but I can't give credit. But this page needed this picture. God bless you! I found this in the Los Angeles Times September 21st. A whole page by United to honor the caring hearts of America. On Monday, a hose in my sink broke just when I needed to rush out the door, and I thought life was being unfair. On Monday, when asked people how they were doing without much thought, or much contemplation they replied "fine" or "good. Om Monday, the papers and the news magazines were filled with stories about the new fall TV schedule. On Monday, there were not many people at the religious section at the bookstore. On Monday, the American flag hung, for the most part, unnoticed at government buildings and schools. On Monday, we passed strangers without much regard. On Tuesday, September 11, all that changed..... On Tuesday, September 11, different things seemed important. On Tuesday, September 11, blissful naivete was lost. Sanctity was mercilessly shaken. On Tuesday, September 11, somebody tried to take America apart. On Tuesday, September 11, America came together. On Tuesday,there were no more Republicans, Democrats, yuppies, blue collars, or any other labels. There were only Americans. On Tuesday, September 11, strangers died for each other. On Tuesday, September 11, the best of the human spirit spit back into the eye of the worst. On Tuesday, September 11, America was knocked to it's knees. On Tuesday, September 11, America got back up again. Click on the flag girl below to go to the Site Map.
