"Turn on the t.v."
"What channel?" you ask.
"It doesn't matter."
Watching the horrible events unfold was unbearable, but you couldn't help looking. Our world stopped for a week. All you heard was about the deaths, the terrorists, the war looming.
To anyone who watched it, you know. To those who weren't alive when it did happen, you're lucky not to have been a witness to it. But remember that we must stand together. We are a country that was brought to its knees. Slowly, we're all getting back up. Its your responsibility to keep it standing, to do whatever is necessary to keep yourselves standing. Please never feel like we did. Lost, helpless, vulnerable. Please feel pride.
We are a country of freedom. Preserve it.
God bless America and the souls that were lost on that horrific day. Our hearts are changed forever.
God bless America
Land that I love
Stand beside her and guide her
Through the night with the light from above
From the mountains, to the prairies,
To the oceans white with foam
God bless America
My home sweet home
