9/11/2001 A sad and needless tragedy. The lives lost in this
horrible travesty will never be forgotten. I can't do much, but
this is my small tribute to all the victims and their families so that
they know that the world is with them and stands beside them as they mourn.
My heart goes out to all the victims, both in lives lost, and the ones
who have to live with the memories of this horror. {{{HUGS}}}

IT'S JUST A PIECE OF CLOTH

It's a piece of cloth, that's all it is, just a piece of cloth.

But when a little breeze comes along, it stirs and comes to life.

And it flutters and snaps in the wind, all red, white and blue....

Then you realize that no other piece of cloth could be like it.

It has your whole life wrapped up in it...

The meals you eat, the time you spend with your family,

The kind of things boys and girls learn in school,

The strange and wonderful thoughts you get in church.

Those stars on it...They make feel just as free as the stars in the wide,
wide, deep night.

And the stripes....they are the bars of blood to any dictator who would try
to change this way of life.

Just a piece of cloth, thats all it is, until you put your soul in it and
give it meaning.

Then its a symbol of liberty and decency and fair dealing for everyone.

Its just a piece of cloth, until we breath life into it, until we make a
stand for everything we believe in ....and refuse to live without it !!!

She's Worth Fighting For

She's been called Old Glory
Some call Her Stars and Stripes
She's called the Star Spangled Banner
By Her people of many types
She's survived Indian arrows
Cannons from ships of old
Leading the U.S. Cavalry
On horses they fought so bold

She's Worth Fighting For
She's Worth Fighting For
They Call Her Old Glory
And She's Worth Fighting For

She's traveled across the oceans
Survived bombs and enemy tanks
She held Her stripes up proudly
As they bombed Pearl Harbor's banks

She's been to the Moon, Korea, Viet Nam
She has went
With liberty and justice for everyone
That's why she was sent

She's Worth Fighting For
She's Worth Fighting For
They Call Her Old Glory
And She's Worth Fighting For

She's gone to the Persian Gulf
The world called Her once more
To help free Kuwait
On the Saudi Arabia Shore
While soldiers fought so bravely
On the battlefield She did fly
They supported Her in combat
For Her many did die

She's Worth Fighting For
She's Worth fighting For
They Call Her Old Glory
And She's Worth fighting For


By jet planes her people were attacked
Through the Nation they did cry
New Yorks Twin Towers fell to the ground
From dust and ashes She Did Fly!

She proudly covers Her heroes
presented to families so proud
Though their hearts will be broken
When the rifles salute so loud

She has called all Americans
To fight for Her today!
So ask God to bless our flag
And bless the U.S.A.
She's Worth Fighting For
She's Worth Fighting For
They Call Her Old Glory
And She's Worth Fighting For
