Free Republic's 9-11 100 Hours of Remembrance

Free Republic | 9/6/03 | Free Republic

[jriemer]

It’s 4:46am September 6.

Its a little more than 100 hours from the Second Anniversary of Start the World Trade Center Attack and the subsequent Strike on the Pentagon and the Crash in Pennsylvania. 100 hours seems to be a long time; however, it is barely enough to reflect and remember all those who perished on the ground and in the air. Each one of the victims has a story, a life, that if retold would take more than 100 hours to appreciate the richness of their stay on this earth before it was snatched away.

Since 911, there has been more sacrifice. More have taken from this earth – this time not in tragedy but in a quest for justice and the expansion of freedom. They were not helpless victims but Heroes of liberation for the Afghanis and Iraqis and protectors of our domestic security.

We would hope that you would take the time and reflect on the lives of those who died on 9-11 and those who have sacrificed their all since that day in these next 100 hours. Please contribute a post of reflection, a prayer, a memorial, a picture or even just a ping to your friends to let them know that 9-11 has not been ignored this year.

Never forget…

The tears running down both of my cheeks - now down to my chin - are a tribute to the how well you have expressed my deepest thoughts about this attack on the America and our whole way of life.

This is our VETNET's SONG!!
WOOHOO!!

The song is "Who's Next!"
Please download it and pass it on to your local radio stations!
 

Here are the lyrics to the song:

"WHO'S NEXT?"

They came without a warnin’ and a battle was declared
A generation’s innocence was shattered in despair
Before we finished grievin’ we put our ships to sea
It was time to take the battle to our deadly enemies

(CHORUS)
Through the gates of Hell, we’ll drive them all away
Send them there to stay, to earn the Devil’s pay
Through the gates of Hell, they’ll arrive on Judgment Day
And one-by-one we’ll say:
‘Who’s next?’
‘Who’s next?’

(VERSE II)
The first to feel our fury were hidin’ in their caves
You could hear the Devil laughin’ when we turned ‘em into graves
Their leaders took to runnin’ for a shelter in the storm
But the thunder just kept comin’ from the troops in uniform

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(VERSE III)
The storm was like an omen as it spread across the land
We hunted down our enemies and made ‘em understand
If you put your faith in madmen, you’re gamblin’ with your lives
And when you hear the thunder roar, it’s time to pay the price

(REPEAT CHORUS)

(BRIDGE)
The legends of the desert tell a tale…
Of a hauntin’ laughter howlin’ in the wind…
When choosin’ sides, you’d better choose ‘em well…
Or the thunder will come rollin’ through again

(REPEAT CHORUS & REPEAT LAST LINE 4 x )

Well said. (Your anger is far more productive than the depression this event can trigger in me. Soldier on for those of us who can only cheer from the sidelines!)

[AFPhys]

thank you so much for the ping to this thread, howlin.

[Fawnn]

We did not ask for this war, nor did we initiate it. We shall however, finish it.

Amen! (And all sensible people will not let the distorted liberal attempts to rewrite that reality deter us from our necessary mission!)
