911 America Rising

Concrete, steel, glass, and dust, we watched three thousand die. Then there was no longer trust, only fear when we would fly. Our cozy world gone in a flash. We'd never be the same. Routine flight to horrific crash. A jihad was proclaimed. Souless zealots on native soil, a scourge not seen before. American blood began to boil as we were shaken to the core. While the cowards knelt in mock prayer, we stood defiant and rebuilt. Such lonely souls in disrepair found the power not to wilt. Though a decade's gone the pain's still fresh, from an ache we know so well. We paid the price in human flesh, but they'll settle up in hell.
