'Have You Forgotten?'

For anybody who may be a 'regular' reader (I'm honestly not sure there are many if any of these) I'm sorry for my laziness this week. I had a 'mini-post' on Tuesday, then Wednesday I was sick, Thursday I had a lot to do and Friday I took a day off to go to the James Wood v. Hampshire game (which, by the way, was an AWESOME game. I don't even like football and it was awesome. Hampshire was down 30-14 or something like that and the crowd really started to thin out, then, all of a sudden, the Trojans came to life and came back to win it 32-30. It was a good game). So anyway, back to the point, I will get back to posting on Monday or Tuesday. I've got a lot to talk about, but I feel like today should be set aside from my usual partisan ranting. I'm not going to slam Kerry, praise Bush, or anything else. I'm going to post the lyrics to the song, "Have You Forgotten," by Darryl Worley. It's a really great song and it really made me stop and think...had I forgotten? We need to remember what happened three years ago today. We need to remember the lives taken on that day and all the lives lost following that day in order to prevent something like that from ever happening again. I thank God at every opportunity I have that we have brave men and women who fight and die to protect our freedom. Remember Those Lost today as we reflect on 9/11. May God Bless America!!!!

Have You Forgotten?
(Darryl Worley/Wynn Varble)

I hear people saying we don't need this war
I say there's some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground
We didn't get to keep 'em by backing down
They say we don't realize the mess we're getting in
Before you start your preaching let me ask you this my friend
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it's too disturbing for you and me
It'll just breed anger that's what the experts say
If it was up to me I'd show it everyday
Some say this country's just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I'd have to say that's right
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I've been there with the soldiers
Who've gone away to war
And you can bet that they remember
Just what they're fighting for
Have you forgotten how it felt that day?
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside going thru a living hell
And you say we shouldn't worry 'bout bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heros in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost and those left to carry on
Don't you tell me not to worry about bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
