Date: 09/18/2001 02:10 AM EDT Dear Mr. President, It's hard to put into words how the recent events have forever impacted my life. But I offer this tribute to our nation's future: Though tragedy knocks down our door Freedom stands ready evermore Composed of many -- all a different hue We stand diversified and always new Strong our arms and sharp our eyes None come twixt or compromise Our vow to self that none can shame Our flag still flies our hearts still flame With hope and love in all that's good We will tumble those who would Pierce our souls and prick our skin Come they time and time again Grown in numbers from round the globe Our brethren rally to help us probe For evil lurks at freedom's door And we'll not take it anymore As one will all nations band and fight Evil stands no chance this night As dawn revolves a new light is seen Peace again, will reign supreme Charles |
From flag pins to poems, a surge of patriotism swept the nation after the attacks on 9-11. |
