NMAH Story: Story

Firemen of 9/11/01
Tommy Haskell
Timmy Haskell

Who are these men,
these brave hearts,
these men of valor?

They are your sons,
your husbands,
your fathers,
and your brothers.

These mere mortal men
grew inside you dear mothers,
held you loving brides,
greeted you at days end fearless children,
and loved you wombmates.

Some will not return home
to smells of holiday dinner,
as the snow blankets the wounded earth.
Their seats will be empty
and their plates untouched.
But set a place for them,
somewhere they do partake in the feast.

9/14/01
