Devastation of 9-11-01 Melted divisions in Washington Our country of petty gripes Sympathizes and unites Airports closed immediately Preventing further tragedy Black, white and yellow skins United, all Americans Workers, ready for vacation Join the rescue operation Our nations churches packed While flags flew at half mast Companies, once driven by greed Donate millions to the need Hollywood stars performed Donating, while we mourned Family ties became strong Blood donations were drawn Many trees don ribbons tied In memory of all who died Troops move on to new stations With bravery and patience We'll never be quite the same But thank God unity came "Amecica," by all, was sung As to our faith we clung As the smoke cloud disappears Its silver lining shines through tears |

You are right Sandgrain. America is united as it never has been before. There are of course the few radicals who attack Muslim Americans in their ignorance, but we are united as one against the enemy. Joyce |

How very true..prior to 9-11 we definitely had too many petty gripes.. this certainly has shown us where our real priorties should be and how much we had to be thankful for. |
