September 11

It was a day like any other. We didn't have a clue, that before the morning ended, life as we knew it would be through. Terrorists hijacked airplanes, and turned them into bombs; crashing them full throttle, into twin towers with aplomb. Mesmerized, horrified we watched, the sickening, fiery foray. Then one by one the towers fell - we shuddered in shocked dismay. Thousands of lives were lost that day, in the name of a foreign god. The murderous cowards responsible, killed innocents on American sod. And when the smoke began to clear, and the facts started coming out, we rose up from our shock and grief, to rally with an angry shout! The United States of America, Home of the brave, land of the free- you can't expect to mess with us, and get away scot-free. We will fight to defend our country! We will fight to avenge our loss! The enemy will not prevail against us. They picked the wrong country to cross. On this solemn anniversary, fifteen years have come and gone. We're still fighting terror's war, and we'll keep fighting till we've won. 9/11/16 Entered in Frank's Herrera's "Your Personal Best in 2016" contest
