Ode To 911 Heroes In 2001

Nine eleven heroes on a plane one day Took Frodo's advice, and gave their lives away In a selfless act, known to only a few, They gave their bodies up, and became angels anew When heroes step up and run in and save others, They are showing their best, integrity taught by their mothers. Their fathers can have some credit if credit is due. Frodo's advice is sound, every day for me and for you. What you give up, may be flesh and skin But we are in a spiritual war, this world we are in. To give up your life for the life of another, This is truly the advice Frodo gave Sam, his spiritual brother.

Thank you. I often think of these brave heroes who saved many other people's lives by giving up their own so selflessly.

Thank you M.L. I often think I HOPE I would be right there, at the front smacking and punching for freedom even if we are a republic rather than a democracy, I still love our country. Just hate the electoral college nonsense.
