Ten Years Ago, Eleven September

Ten years ago, on Eleven September more than three thousand died, we should always remember There was no warning, that fateful day when those planes hit the towers, it shall never go away The Pentagon rumbled, then was on fire more people died, with more funeral pyres The Brave men and women, on flight 93 so valiantly fought, what if, it were you and me? Because of this day,there's a war that we fight a half world away, we're still living the plight Me and Women still dying, fighting the foe some ten years later, just how far must it go? On Eleven September,with our flags at half mast let's remember our Hero's, for the die has been cast if you go to ground zero, please say a prayer in remembrance of the Hero's who were, are still there If you see a Soldier, just back from the war please shake their hand, for, they deserve so much more Bow your head now in silence, please let's observe to reflect upon our Hero's, it's for us, that they serve ! Heavenly Father; In a moment these brave souls, went from being with us, to being seated with you. We ask that you wrap your loving arms around them, and let them know that their sacrifices were not in vain, that they are being Honored, here, by those whom they sacrificed their lives for! Amen

Thanks for sharing the prayer Taz....and the reminder we all need for those that died both heroes and victims and those that are taken for granted that are now serving our troubled country.
