In every generation, there is always a moment in time where something or someone attempts to crush our humanity. However, as we are all struggling advocators of betterment, we always rise above our less patriotic selves of the past and show those who try to trample us, that our pride and patriotism will not be quelled so easily.

Remembering 9/11 By Bernard Howe Copyright 2002 Its been just about a year ago, that our lives changed forever. Healing has come slow for some even with our patriotic endeavor. Those lives that was lost that day, amongst that twisted steel. Still rips at our hearts, yes it all seemed so surreal. The police and the firemen, who gave everything that day. Are always on my lips, each and every time I pray. For those in the buildings, and on those planes that perished. May they live on in history, for they are all now cherished. Now our country can grow stronger, and not let their lives be lost. For we will protect our citizens, at any price or any cost. The thing about America that makes us so renown. Every time we're hurting, they can never keep is down. So I thank every citizen for coming to our aid. America the beautiful.
