Have YOU Forgotten?



Today my blog post is dedicated to all my fallen brothers and sisters who left love ones behind to do what they love, PROTECT AND SAVE. To all the service men and women who have left their families behind to fight for our freedom, so that we may sleep in peace and that we can go about our daily lives and not live in fear. To all the children who are with out their mothers and fathers who died in this horrific attack our nation was smacked with. To the wives, to the husbands, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers....who have lost their loved ones..... Today is a day to NEVER be forgotten!



For you soldiers... please know that we love and miss each one of you and are praying for a safe journey home and GOD SPEED! I pray for the day you can lay down your guns and hang up your boots, sleep in your own bed, kiss your children goodnight and look at your spouses and tell them just how much you love them!




Here is the lyrics to a song by Darryl Worley, that I think are just amazing:




I hear people saying we don't need this war I say there's some things worth fighting for What about our freedom and this piece of ground We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in Before you start your preaching 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 going thru a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden Have you forgotten?

They took all the footage off my T.V. Said it's too disturbing for you and me It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say If it was up to me I'd show it everyday Some say this country's just out looking for a fight After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right 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 going thru a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden Have you forgotten? I've been there with the soldiers who've gone away to war and you can bet that they remember Just what they're fighting for! 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 going thru a living hell And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten all the people killed? Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field Have you forgotten about our Pentagon? All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten?
GOD BLESS AMERICA!!!
