      I vote for the Red,White,& Blue, I vote for my sisters, brothers,and you,I will stand by my country with pride and joy and never back down when there comes another void, I watch this flag whip in the wind and wonder will this pain ever end, So the next time I wonder what to do, I will stand strong by the Red,White,& Blue
      10 yrs ago I wrote that poem to cope with what had happened and still to this day I stand by those words I wrote. I pray for everyone who lost a loved one on that tragic day and I pray for the people of our country. My brothers and sisters. If there were ever anything that happens in our life time that should bring us closer it should be the memory of what happened on 9/11. People lost their lives saving others and thank God that he sent his angels. I wish if at the very least we can't have peace on earth just yet let strive for peace here in our country. I believe in true love and it's all thanks to the ones who gave their lives and the ones who fight, and fought for us. The Hero's of 9/11 thank you and God Bless..

      hey mayor goldberg, make room for the firefighters who first at the scene. Why werethey not invited, they had no room for them. They sure as hell had room when they were saving lives and losing brothers for this? A slap in the face to say the least, yet you won't hear any of them complain, they go about their business and save lives and put out fires. God bless the real hero's of that day and to hell with the ones who wasn't there and had no idea what is was even like. But they will be there and the hero's won't. What a country, we really need to take it back.
