Remember 9/11

Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?

Who’s broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight

O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?

And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air

Gave proof through the night…THAT OUR FLAG WAS STILL THERE!

Oh, say does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave,

For the land of the free, and the home of the brave!

REMEMBER

I doubt I’d have trouble remembering, even without everyone shouting at me.

American Tears

Sometimes I think about America,
About Her struggle thru the years.
I think of people who
Did what they had to do,
With the strength to act thru their fears…

I know I’m blessed to be
Living in liberty
In a land
Where freedom will last…

I will always be an American,
And I’ll always cry
American Tears.

Paul Simon playing The Sound of Silence at the NY service. He had originally planned to play Bridge Over Troubled Water.

A moving performance. But what gets me is the TV network that recorded this felt obligated to include a continuous mundane news crawl…“Man charged with manslaughter following the death of a Wales football fan outside Wembly Stadium…”

:frowning:

Apparitions still won’t leave me alone.
It’s as if you never left.
How am I supposed to remember you
When you won’t let me forget?

Knock knock!

Who’s there?

9/11

9/11 Who?

WHAT??!!! You said you’d NEVER FORGET!!

:smiley:

Speaking of things to remember, it’s not “For the land of the free, and the home of the brave,” but “O’er the land of the free…”
