Alan, I like this poem very much. It reminds all of us that many gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy. I'm sure you had 9-11 in mind, and all who served that day deserve our highest honor and respect. Thanks.

“The world is a dangerous place to live, not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.” ― Albert Einstein thank you for being one of the people who does something to make the world a safer place.

No, we Americans will never forget 9/11, it devastated all lives. I had just gotten up and was going to take a shower when I saw the first plane hit the tower, I thought I was watching a movie, then listened closer to hear it was reality, then a little bit later, the other plane hit the other tower. More reports about the pentagon being hit, and then those brave souls who fought and died in that field. It will never leave my mind. I too have written many poems on 9/11. They are here on ph and also on a special tribute sight on the internet. I was chosen by a committee and they posted my poems there. Quite an honor. Your poem is really great, glad that I had the opportunity to read it. Thank you for sharing. RoseAnn

I will never forget that incredible day, where all of a sudden the twin towers went missing from the beautiful blue sky. I was in Clifton, New Jersey. That was a very sad day, a day that changed everything in America, especially the way we now travel. Those criminals took away a lot of lives, more than we can count, and also cost us a lot of money, money that we will never be able to count. May we have peace on earth!

Yeah, I was basically in the same area. I was driving up the Garden State Parkway from where I lived in Parlin at the time. I was supposed to start a new job at 10: 00AM off of Exit 157 if I recall. Heard all the reports on the radio heading up, and though I didn't see the actual hits, I could see the smoke and ash rise from the towers from my car. When I did get to the job, people were grouped around TV's and crying. Everyone got sent home a bit later, and yes, I certainly will never forget that day...and I'm fairly certain anyone from this area won't either...

And never forget the ones no longer here, Who fought for the freedoms we all hold dear, And may their memory never wane, Lest their sacrifices be in vain.... beautiful lines...10 it never goes in vain but gives us pain in their memory to feel always sorry
