RE: It's 9-11-08
From Q104.3-NY Jim Kerr
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 WAINING 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 WISPERED 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 BECAME 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!

9-11 β Once known only as the emergency phone number
9-11 β Now remembered forever as that fateful day back in 2001.
9-11 β A day that began with blue and sunny skies, to end dark, blackened and seared.
9-11 β A day where life was changed completed for all of us regardless where you lived in the world
9-11 β A day that each of us remembers where we were, what we were doing, when we heard the news.
9-11 β A day when ordinary men and women became heroes, and heroes never ever die.
9-11 β A day that each of us will remember in our own way, so that we never forget.
9-11 β A day that brought the bravest to tears.
9-11 β A day when on that sunny morning, I saw the second plane fly overhead, unaware of what it was.
9-11 β A day filled with more than memories, a day that should never be forgotten.
9-11 β A day that was like any other day, but not anymore.
9-11 β A day of shadows, ghosts, haunting images
9-11 β A day of flags flying, bells tolling, names read, three places remembered
9-11 - A day of silenceβ¦β¦β¦β¦β¦ a day simply known as 9-11.
