Subject: 911 A TRIBUTE SOLDIERS Fri Sep 05, 2008 3:16 am
We see you battle in a place of violent, whipping sands. We watch in horror, but with pride, as you traverse foreign lands.
We fix ourselves upon you, whether family, friend or not. We are proud of you, dear soldiers, and you are within our hearts.
We hold back tears of worry, and we hold our breath for you. We are astounded at your strength, heroic through and through.
We see how precious you are, and when any of you falls, We cry a storm of tears, as you've answered to the call.
We realize your nightmare, but cannot feel your pain. We keep you in our prayers, day and night, you will remain.
No matter where you are, or whatever you withstand- Just know, our dear soldiers- You're the Freedom of the land.
I would like to inspire "American P.R.I.D.E." among citizens of all ages by Promoting Patriotism, Remembering Veterans, Involving Families, Delivering Hope and Encouraging Troops. Through these efforts, we can change our lives and our land. In the words of Charles F. Brown, "We can't all be Washingtons, but we can all be patriots." It seemed easy to be a patriot in the aftermath of 9-11. Our country was lifted by a groundswell of patriotism that saw us through the uncertain times. It served to remind us of how valuable our freedom is and how we sometimes take that freedom for granted. The country came together and I saw things that will forever impact my life. I began to understand what it meant to be an American, living in a land built on a foundation of freedom. The passion for my country began to swell and I never want that passion to die. In fact, I want to use my passion and pass it on! (solar)
