Ashes Ashes (9/11)

Images seared
into our collective soul
bright blue sky
marred by
smoke black as night
angry flames
birth
soot and ash
falling falling
without end
baptizing all within reach
inhaling one another
deeply into our lungs
wearing heinous evidence
as dusty white cloaks
tears leave trails
down faces
revealing
human flesh
not meant
for such things
to bear.

Since this nation was founded under
God, more than 200 years ago,

We've been the bastion of
Freedom...

The light which keeps the free world
Aglow.

We do not covet the possessions of
Others, we are blessed with the
Bounty we share.

We have rushed to help other
Nations...anything...anytime...
Anywhere.

War is just not our nature...we
Won't start, but we will end the fight.

If we are involved we shall be
Resolved to protect what we know is
Right.

We've been challenged by a
Cowardly foe who strikes and then
Hides from our view.

With one voice we say there's no
Choice today, there is only one
Thing to do.

Everyone is saying the same thing
And praying that we end these
Senseless moments we are living.

As our fathers did
before, we shall
Win this unwanted war.

As our children will enjoy the
Future, we'll be giving.

I moved hundreds of my tapes last week, as I looked through some I found the tape of Jack reading his poem, shaking with emotions and Parkinson. I will be watching it after Sunday's game.

On my profile page I have some of his other poems, my favorite is his Memorial Day poem.

Beware if you have dial-up. ;-`)

Every time I see pictures of the horrible day, I remember that these muslims are not peaceful but blood thirsty savages. Islam is not the religion of peace but of Satan!

This is like it yesterday for me.

We shall never, ever forget.

We will defeat our enemy!

We will never forget that day, and in the name of the fallen we will fight terror wherever it hides and resides as long as we shall live.

Thanks for starting this thread.

It's curious that CNN wants to show the bloating, dead bodies in New Orleans, but has no interest in showing the poor, innocent citizens jumping from the Twin Towers!

WE PROMISED... WE WOULD NEVER FORGET

[texianyankee]

Thanks for this thread. I will never forget.

That Tuesday morning, I was in Zapata, Texas, along the Rio Grande when I first heard the word.

I heard someone mention something about a plane hitting the Twin Towers.....we gathered around a car radio to hear the news - another plane had hit the other tower.

I dont know how long we just stood around listening in stunned silence. But eventually, someone mentioned the feed store across the street had a TV. In short order a small group of us gathered in front of the only channel we could pick up - a Spanish language news broadcast - but the live video feed said it all.

My mind went back just five weeks earlier when I was in NYC....

August 2, 2001, I visited NYC for the first time in my life. It was a short four day stayover with the highlight attending my first Yankee game at the Stadium. Clemens pitched the game - it was his birthday - and we won.

I had a couple of days to view some of the sights and so I walked from my hotel near Times Square, south on Broadway all the way to Battery Park so I could catch a ferry to Lady Liberty. The lower Manhattan atmosphere deluged my senses and the heat in early August approached Texas, but all-in-all it was inspiring to be a witness to this city.

The walk took me next to the Twin Towers. I paused a few minutes to catch my breath and to gaze skyward. They were impressive, to say the least. However, I didnt have time to stop & visit. I wanted to catch Lady Liberty, so I had to walk on.

It took hours to visit Lady Liberty. The day was almost gone by the time I was finished seeing the sights of Lower Manhattan and grabbing a bite to eat so I didnt have the time to walk over to the Twin Towers. It was early evening, so I took the subway back to Times Square.

August 7th I flew back to Texas, thinking I would never come back again. But once 9/11 happened, I had to. I flew back to join in the one year memorial services in NYC.

I will never forget.

Quote added from HKMk23:

Faith When we felt loss, know that it was your loss we felt. When we mourned, know that it was with you that we mourned. As we fight, know that it is for you that we fight. When we are victorious, know that our victory will be yours.

In all, these past and future things are at every moment present with us. Amid the press of the daily, both past and future live pure in our minds and hearts. They are within us a power that drives us ever forward; the past because it cannot be changed; the future because it can.

Faith, O Daughter of Eve. Faith.

Bear, an eleven-year old Golden Retriever born on November 1, 1989, was the first dog to arrive on the scene and get straight to work in the midst of the disaster at the World Trade Center during the morning hours of September 11, 2001. A veteran member of the canine search-and-rescue team, Bear and his owner/handler, Captain Scott Shields (Director of Marine Safety for the New York City Urban Parks Service), spent the early days following the tragedy sifting through the tons of debris at Ground Zero. Bear's instincts for knowing where to search were seldom, if ever, wrong.

"I will always love my partner.
He helped me search trucks entering
the WTC for Explosives.
I left him in his kennel
to help rescue people in Tower #1.
He may be a dog to most,
but he was a 'friend' to me."
