911 REMEMBERED - HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN?
Let us not forget what we are fighting for, what we are fighting to protect. On a clear September morning, life as we knew it was forever altered.
Does anyone doubt this? The right to freely travel within our country, was seriously compromised. We now have to be subject to searches, xrays, magnetometer & other technologies, just to be allowed to travel.
Darryl Worley states:"The USO tour in Afghanistan over the [2002] Christmas holidays gave me an opportunity to spend some quality time with the people who defend the freedoms of this country, and I was just overwhelmed by that experience. I wanted to find some way to honor these men and women. When I sat down to write with Wynn after I got home, I was telling him about my experiences. I felt like some people tended to forget the terror and the horror we felt on 9-11. The first thing I thought of was, “Those soldiers damn sure haven’t forgotten what they’re over there for.” And that’s how the song came about."
Have You Forgotten
Darryl Worley
I hear people saying
We don't need this war
But I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep them by backing down
Now they say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start to preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
Too see your homeland under fire and her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my TV
They said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger, it'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
Well after 9-11 man I'd have to say that's right.
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
Too see your homeland under fire and her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going through a living hell
And we vowed to get the ones behind 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 all the people killed?
Yeah some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
Yeah all those 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 how it felt that day?
Too see your homeland under fire and her people blown away
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten...
In case you have forgotten, please let thise photos serve to help you to NOT forget what we are fighting for.
 
Before
an Hour later..........
 
A mere 6 months earlier ......... Tower 2 exploding in flames
While others ran out, Heroes Ran in.
 
How some
perished,
How many more met their fate.
Let's never forget, the acts of cowards bent upon the destruction
of all that we hold dear.
Even as that day started to play out, heroic Americans started to
fight back as they ran in to save hundreds of people. These actions
cost them their lives. Others, upon finding themselves on a hijacked
airline, decided that they would not be used to harm others & they fought back bravely,
begining our fight against Terrorism.
United Airlines Flight 93 was a regular flight from Newark
International Airport (now known as Newark Liberty International
Airport) in Newark, New Jersey, to San Francisco International Airport,
then continuing on to Narita International Airport in Tokyo, Japan, on
a different aircraft. On September 11, 2001, the United Airlines Boeing
757-222, registered N591UA,[1] was one of four planes hijacked as part
of the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. It did not reach its
intended target, instead crashing in an empty field just outside
Shanksville, Pennsylvania, about 150 miles (240 km) northwest of
Washington, D.C. The 9/11 Commission (through testimony, tapes of
passengers' phone calls, and the flight data recorders recovered from
the crash) determined that crew and passengers, alerted through phone
calls to loved ones, had attempted to overpower the hijackers. The
Commission concluded that the hijackers crashed the plane to keep the
crew and passengers from gaining control.

They epitomized the American Spirit of courage, honor & self sacrifice.
We have not forgotten, We will NEVER forget that day... But, have you forgotten?
