I wrote this on the day it happened. I didn’t ever want to forget.   9-11-01 It happened one Tuesday, Eleventh September, a day that the world will always remember. When smoke from a building filled up the blue sky, and clouded our vision from tears in our eye. When the flames from above seemed to fall like rain down and fueled the resolve within those on the ground. We watched as the steel and the mortar gave way as we huddled together and grew stronger that day. We watched as a nation, bruised and in pain, vowed that those perished shall not be in vain. Somebody somewhere thought we would fall. It just goes to prove they don’t know us at all. The world would soon learn what we already knew, that we all join our hearts for the red, white, and blue.   © tom catalano tomcatalano.com
