Spike's & Jamie's 911 Memorial Page
|
We are dedicating this page to the friends and families of
those killed or injured during the cowardly attack on an innocent American
civilian population on 9/11/01; also to the rescue workers and volunteers who
have given so much of themselves to help during this tragedy - some have given
all.
"Let every nation know - whether it wishes us well or ill - that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, oppose any foe, to assure the survival and the success of Liberty".

Towers two of glass and steel, reaching for the sky.
Built by man, his blood and sweat,
Mixed with cement and more, and yet.
A building strong and fortress-like, five sides and rings inside.
Our men of war contained therein,
We'd think that nothing could get in.
Sleepy travelers waking up, their destination west.
They'd said "Goodbye! We'll see you soon!"
They never even saw that noon.
Brave men and women heard the call and fate soon intervened.
Their efforts brave, their fears aside,
They ventured knowingly inside
Towers two of steel and glass
And a building born of wars long past.
A shadow grew in length that day, from some place dark and deep.
As evil reared its ugly head,
Far too many wound up dead.
The darkness grew, a large, short spurt, its celebration brief.
Unknown to it, the evil force,
We dug down deep for our resource.
Yet now we pause, our faith at test, inquiring aloud,
"Why them and now? They're innocent!"
Emotions drained and taxed and spent.
One day we'll know the answers to this quandary dark and deep.
Beliefs having been tested,
Weary souls long since rested,
Pulled Heaven-ward from what remains
Of a building born of wars long past
And towers two of steel and glass

Commentary on the Pledge of Allegiance by Red Skelton
As a schoolboy, one of Red Skelton's teachers explained the words and
meaning of the Pledge of Allegiance to his class. Skelton later wrote
down, and eventually recorded,
his recollection of this lecture. It is followed by an observation of
his own.
I - Me; an individual; a committee of one.
Pledge - Dedicate all of my worldly goods to give
without self-pity.
Allegiance - My love and my devotion.
To the Flag - Our standard; Old Glory ; a symbol of Freedom; wherever
she waves there is respect, because your loyalty has given her a dignity
that shouts. Freedom is everybody's job.
United - That means that we have all come together.
States - Individual communities that have united into forty-eight great
states. Forty-eight individual communities with pride and dignity and
purpose. All divided with imaginary boundaries, yet united to a common
purpose, and that is love for country.
And to the Republic - Republic--a state in which sovereign power is
invested in representatives chosen by the people to govern. And
government is the people; and it's from the people to the leaders, not
from the leaders to the people.
For which it stands
One Nation - One Nation--meaning, so blessed by God.
Indivisible - Incapable of being divided.
With Liberty - Which is Freedom; the right of power to live one's own
life, without threats, fear, or some sort of retaliation.
And Justice - The principle, or qualities, of dealing fairly with
others.
For All - For All--which means, boys and girls, it's as much your
country as it is mine.
And now, boys and girls, let me hear you recite the Pledge of
Allegiance:
"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States
of America, and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for
all."
Since I was a small boy, two states have been added to our country, and
two words have been added to the Pledge of Allegiance: "Under God."
Wouldn't it be a pity if someone said that is a prayer, and that would
be eliminated from schools, too?

Recipe:
Hateful Soup
1 cup of evilness
1 cup of madness
1 cup of hatred
1 cup of jealously
Boil for five minutes. When it boils it creates a mess. It creates
sick stomachs, horrible headaches, hurt hearts, and it is very hard to
clean up the mess it creates.
