Linda and I just had dinner together at In N' Out about an hour ago

In Memory of 9/11...Pic #1 is a house on the corner of my street...Pic #2 is my humble home :)

We Remember 9/11

WHY?
GRIEF AND SORROW STRUCK THIS NATION IN AN UNEXPLAINABLE WAY
LEAVING US SURROUNDED BY TEARS AND SORROW AND ONLY ONE THING LEFT TO SAY
WHY? WHY DID THIS HAVE TO HAPPEN? WHAT DID WE DO THAT WAS SO WRONG? WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE OUR LOVED ONES? HOW DO WE REPLACE WHAT IS GONE?
BUT WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY, WE WILL STAND UP AND FIGHT...UNITED WE WILL STAND TOGETHER FOR WHAT IS TRUE FOR WHAT IS RIGHT
HERO'S ROSE OUT OF THE ASHES TO SAVE A LIFE WE THOUGHT WAS LOST
NEVER THINKING OF WHAT MIGHT HAPPEN NEVER CARING WHAT THE COST
THEY DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE GLORY THEY DIDN'T DO IT FOR THE FAME
THEY ONLY DID WHAT THEY KNEW WAS RIGHT...THEY ARE OUR HERO'S THAT HAVE NO NAME
UNITED WE CAN BUILD A BETTER TOMORROW LET US FINISH WHAT THEY BEGAN
TO START...LET US SAY A PRAYER FOR THEM TOGETHER AND KEEP THEM CLOSE IN OUR HEART

What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong

I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself what a wonderful world.

The colors of the rainbow so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands saying how do you do
They're really saying I love you.

I hear babies crying, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more than I'll never know
And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Yes I think to myself what a wonderful world.
