have you forgotten

yesterday i kept my page silent out of respect, due to what occurred ten years ago on September 11th.

i know i havent forgotten, that ten years ago yesterday i was sitting in my fourth grade socail studies class when my home room teacher who was in the room next door came bursting in tears streaming down her face as she tells my teacher to turn on the tv right away, said it was ergent! while other schools let children go home and be with family, mine did not. i guess they took this as a learning opportunity for us kids, to have us sit down and watch. though many of us were not fully aware of what was going on and how big a deal this truely was! truth is it wasnt a movie at all, this was real life...a life changing moment happening right before our eyes. for the most part we could tell this was a big deal, by seeing our teachers faces while watching it and seeing how frantic all the grownups got and how upset everyone was. so the question is, HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN!?

this traggic event took place September 11,2001 

between 8:46 am - 10:26 am, when the last tower fell.

we will never forget the men ans women who risked their lives 

to protect the lives of others. nor will we forget those who continue to 

risk their lives today to protect ours. 

I hear people sayin'. We Don't need this war.

I say there's some things worth fightin' for.

What about our freedom, and this piece of ground?

We didn't get to keep 'em by backin' down.

They say we don't realize the mess we're gettin' in

Before you start preachin' let me ask you this my friend.

Have you forgotten, how it felt that day?

To see your homeland under fire

And her people blown away

Have you forgotten, when those towers fell

We had neighbors still inside goin through a livin hell

And you say we shouldn't worry bout Bin Laden

Have you forgotten?

You took all the footage off my T.V.

Said it's too disturbin for you and me

It'll just breed anger is what the experts say

If it was up to me I'd show it everyday

Some say this country just out lookin' for a fight

Well after 9/11 man I'd have to say right.

and if you have forgotten im hoping this song and these photos will remind you, of the hurt the tears and the pain..and remember all of the men and women that have lost there lives fighting, fighting for this day, fighting for their lives, fighting for freedom, and fighting for you! to all of you who are fighting for our lives and those of you who have lost your lives on this day and while out fighting to protect us, i pray for you! every single one of you are HEROS and nothing less! thank you for all you do and for all youve done! 

GOD BLESS!
