Remember the Alamo! The Maine! And Pearl Harbor!
And another day we must always remember,
Is that fateful date, the 11th of September.
The year was 2001
And the black smoke from the Twin Towers,
Blotted out the bright morning sun.
Nearly 3,000 Americans died that day,
And a mournful Nation was left to pray.
All America rallied as they did before,
And vowed to win this terrorist war.
We must always remember those citizens who died,
Those who gave us our precious liberty.
Since the founding of our republic,
Brave men and women,
have fought to keep us free.
They served in our military forces,
And on the home front too.
They died so we might live in peace,
Under the Red, White and Blue.
So when we pause to remember,
Those who paid the ultimate price,
It is only fitting and proper to recall their sacrifice.
Not only on Memorial and also Veterans Day,
We should say a daily "thank you",
To all members of our Armed Forces,
For their sacrifice in venturing,
Into harm's way.
Hereafter, we must remain ever vigilant;
There is no room for complacency or error,
If we are to remain forever free-
We must win this...War on Terror!
And while we remember the Alamo, the Maine,
And the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor,
Let us always remember,
Those who perished in 2001,
On the morning of the 11th of September!
