The Day After

[alfsauve]

On this day, September 12, in 2001, the whole world was watching and waiting to see what had become of the United States.   After the bombardment in DC and NY and the crash in PA, what would they see?  Did we survive?

Another man had a similar experience on another September morning, in 1814.   Instead of looking at international news he was looking across Baltimore harbor.  Waiting for some sign that the US had survived an attack.   He wrote a poem as relevant today as it was back then.  Read these words and see if they don't apply to how you felt on 9/12/2001.

"O! say can you see by the dawn's early light,

What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,

Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,

O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.

And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,

Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;

O! say does that star-spangled banner yet wave,

O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?"



YES............YES.............YES

Great post Alf!

However, in the spirit of another thread - Have You Forgotten?  September 12, 2010 - after a week of what happened, today there is nothing on tv or in the area papers about how we have changed, where we are today and how we got here, and where we are headed.  We survived, but that is about it in the minds of the general sheeple

There was the 9/12/Tea Party/ Freedom Works gathering in D.C., and across the country. You will not see or watch any big coverage on the MSM, but they were there.

Thank you alf.

In a way, m58 we have changed, NOW we're not just pissed off at the terrorists, we are pissed at our politicians that continue to do nothing but ignore us, and lead us down the wrong path.

Hopefully, Nov. will start a major "correction".
