America the Beautiful
America the beautiful,
America the free,
America my homeland,
What have they done to thee?
The hate that festers round the world
We'd hoped to keep at bay,
Has finally broken down our walls
And come to roost this day.
The nameless, faceless cowards that brought
The City tumbling down,
Forgot that this great country,
Will always rally round.
Filled with smoke and flames this night,
The City wears a shroud,
Yet turn your eyes upon the bay
Where Liberty still stands proud!
America the beautiful,
America the free,
America, my homeland--
The Land of Liberty!

Subject: Some patriotic patterns
body: Greetings,
I just got this url in my email for this beautiful afghan, and I thought
that I would pass it along to everyone. I'm sure there are many other
ladies out there who enjoy crocheting as much as I do :) I haven't started
on it yet, but will be soon. There are also urls for flag sweaters
too.
This is going to be a fantastic way to show my patriotism all the time.
Plus, the satisfaction that comes with making something with your hands is
immeasurable. I hope you enjoy these patterns.

Stand tall, AMERICA
Stand Tall, America,
for we are our strength.
Our love of freedom,
our sense of what's right,
will guide us through,
this long dark night.
Heads Held High, America,
for we are the innocent.
Those drops of blood,
shed by our dying,
it's justice, not revenge,
for which we are crying.
Backs Straight, America,
for we have our pride.
We have shown the world,
they can't put us down,
we just dig a little deeper,
where our strength of steel is found.
Hands At Ready, America,
for we have much to do.
We will help each other,
till victory is won,
showing terrorists,
we won't be their pawn.
Raise Your Voices, America,
to the Heavenly Host.
Ask the Lord to guide us,
each second, minute and hour,
thank Him for giving us the resolve,
to see that America will never, ever cower.
GOD BLESS AMERICA

Today the Eagle Cried
Written By: Terry P. Barnes
Today I heard an eagle cry
As it flew high overhead,
It cried a message to the world,
So many innocent now dead.
How could this horror happen?
Today America is under attack,
Terrorists seized their planes
In the world's worst hijack.
No longer stand the World Trade Towers
New York was so proud of,
No longer live the people
That worked inside so high above.
The innocent passengers inside those planes
With these cowards flew,
They knew they were about to die
But nothing could they do.
Let's not forget the Pentagon
And the Pittsburgh crash indeed,
These cowards in control
Were determined to succeed.
Today the eagle cried,
But with its powerful wings it flew
Across its American skies,
With determination born anew.
Like the eagle are the people,
For they shed a tear as well,
Their fight for freedom and democracy
Will triumph over hell.
God bless the innocent people
That died upon this day,
God bless their families and their friends,
Then guide them along their way.
Finally, God bless America,
For she'll stand strong and free,
Because her people stand united
For the entire world to see.

Friends:
We are offering a way for those directly affected by the Attack on America to work through their grief through writing. We are proposing a tribute book to publishers that will consist of the stories of survivors, the agonizing search for loved ones, the realization of loss, the rescue efforts, and perhaps most important, stories of hope. We are interested in your story.
A noted psychologist will introduce the book with an explanation of how writing and reading these stories fits into the healing process. We welcome photos, drawings, or anything that expresses your feelings.
Profits will benefit the September 11th Fund. Americans will have another way to contribute financially to those affected while reading their stories in the spirit of healing.
We cannot guarantee that each of these stories will be published, however each story will be received in the spirit of prayer, support, and remembrance. No story will be used without the contributor's express written
permission. Published contributors will receive a free copy of the book.
Send your story through mail, email, or fax. You can record your story on an audio or video cassette and we will transcribe it. Handwrite it if that is how you feel most comfortable. Send you story to:
September 11 Book

From Ceana
One
As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the burning building
We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope
We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their way into the
inferno
We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss
We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss
We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes
We become one people.
We are
One color
One class
One generation
One gender
One faith
One language
One body
One family
One soul
One people
We are The Power of One.
We are United.
We are America.
