A Giant Has Been Awakened
by Joe Pielmeier Sr.
But, for one thing I am thankful,
In the many flags, I see.
We have united once again,
I'm as proud as I can be.
The terrorists has made his move,
Our country still stands free.
Old Glory waves from many homes,
From sea to shining sea.
You may have won this battle,
But the war has just begun.
We won't rest until you're found,
We got you on the run.
You made your move, you struck your blow,
And yet we still stand tall,
Free people never start a fight,
But they answer every call...

Thanks for the link to the video.
I get chills everytime I read the remarks and reactions of those who were here on Free Republic as the day unfolded. Watching that video brought tears to my eyes. The feelings of shock and terror over what happened that day are still alive within me and were brought out as I watched the photos of people who had decided that a suicide jump from 100 floors was better than the alternative. Hundreds of heros were lost that day after saving over thirty thousand lives. Men and women lost loved ones, and children lost parents. Time may heal all wounds, but it doesn't take the sting and the horror out the events of 9-11.
This should be required reading/viewing material for everyone.

Were you the first to say the name Osama bin Laden? 8:08 AM CDT, 9-11-2001.
To: SaveTheChief
A humble thank you to all the people who stayed by their computers and TVs and reported in on that terrible day. As others on this thread have said, just reading these silent words on a computer screen, two years after, still runs chills up my spine.
I was not able to visit with FR that week. Felicity and I were on the first day of our honeymoon on 9/11. I had not taken a computer, and had promised her I wouldn't go near the Internet. Then we saw what was on the TV.
When the second plane hit, I said to her, "This means war." She agreed. She also agreed that my Internet promise no longer applied. Before we could get any plane to come home, with her editing I had posted two articles, one of them on "The Law of War."
Of course, I still owe her another honeymoon that does not involve the Internet.
I did miss my friends on FreeRepublic, that terrible week.

Thanks for the ping.
I was at work that morning; rumors were flying. I got a chance to go in the break room and hear the radio broadcast. I'm afraid I made a spectacle of myself by pounding my fist into a tabletop and cursing bin Laden's name.
PO'd? Yes. Then and now. I will NOT forget.
9/11 is EVERY YEAR. DON'T FORGET!
If we cease to care; if we ever forget:
We will owe the unpayable debt.
Blood and fury cry out from the ground;
Our heads still echo from the sound.
The lives that ended that day
The twisted wreckage, raw and gray;
Still haunt our memory as they must;
If we forget we will become dust.

Repost - Blessings / Salutations (pranaam) Ode to September 11 Heroes
Posted on 09/10/2002 2:09 PM PDT
Among Flight Ninetythree passengers,
Were common folk, business travellers,
Unmindful of a certain death,
They fought like tigers,
To foil the aim of armed killers,
Forcing the plane into the wilderness,
Crashing away from the city centers,
Salute these common heroes, Pranaam!
A very compassionate Chaplain,
Who leaned to pray with a fireman,
Lending solace, last rites to a dying man,
Disregarding the falling heavy slabs,
That buried them both in an eternal clasp,
Salute the undying devotion, Pranaam!
The loaded planes like missiles exploded,
Balls of flame burst and steel crumpled,
Tall twin towers violently imploded,
Yet police and firement ceaselessly worked,
Oblivious to fate that menacingly loomed,
Bravo the police fire men and women - Pranaam!
Bravely huddled holding hands together,
As tons of concrete came crashing asunder,
Like Atlas holding the world on his shoulders,
Mountains of debris falling from tottering towers,
Behold courage like the Phoenix risen from the ashes, Pranaam
Youthful victims of many a nationality,
Dreamers of happier life 'n prosperity,
Far from homes in toiling sincerity,
From all religions, beliefs and identity,
Innocents sacrificed to a vicious bestiality,
In silence we remember, Pranaam!
These crimes against decency and liberty,
By fanatical perpetrators, preachers of enmity,
With masks of sanity and holier sanctitity,
Hatred in their hearts for all humanity,
Religious sermonisers of an evil mentality,
Let Justice Prevail - Pranaam
To: Jeff Head
Thank you Jeff.
I will never forget.
And dispite all the horrors (and blessings) we learn of here on FR thru the fantastic postings of news gatherers from around this nation, it was that day, Sept. 11, sitting here in front of my puter, and talking with FR friends that the immense value of this site came home to roost. For as long as I live, I will never forget the shock, anger, horror and sadness we shared here on the day our nation was attacked.
To: Jeff Head
Thanks Jeff. I will never forget.

Thanks for the link. I saw this when it first came out, but it is emotionally draining and I hadn't seen it for awhile. I needed to see it again.
Someone posted on another thread that "The great cleavage in America today is between those who see the world as September 10 and those who see it as September 12." I'm a Sept. 12 person and don't have much patience w/those who aren't.

I don't mind forgiving them...but I recognize that the extent of their actions require that they be sent on to the good Lord for further processing.
NEVER FORGET!
