9-11

September 11th 2001, Was the day that many died, A tragic day we'll never forget, The day our eagle cried. When the two planes struck our towers, And we watched them crumble to the ground, As black smoke filled the air, We heard the most terrifying sound. People screaming, running for their lives, Sirens blaring down the street, America realized we had to unite, "We will not take defeat". Our uniformed angels were sent out, To defend our Red, White and blue, And now they live in hell everyday, And they do it for me and you. To all the armed forces, Army, Air Force, Navy and Marines, Thank you for all your bravery, Cause no matter what tomorrow brings, We all stand behind you, And to all those that lost their lives, We will never forget you either, Or the day our eagle cried.

Congrats on "9-11" being featured. Iraq was not involved in this. We went over there hunting for oil. We were already getting oil from the perpetrators. Dark day in American history. BMC Vince Suzadail Jr. USNR-Ret.
