My country, 'tis of thee
Lynn today embarks on a Jetliner from BWI.
Was coping some java and catching up on yesterday's mail. Lynn said to look at the TV. Dumbfounded, listening to the rain pitter patter on the tin roof, heart beating wildly a sadness overcame me. A momentary lack of reason as I fleetingly thought how tragic that terrorist attacked us. That our intelligence agencies missed this. My soul searched for some reason. A way to reconcile this madness. December 7 1941 brought me back to reason. Just as the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour had galvanized the Nation so too would this horrific mass murder. Our Nation had. Our Nation will.
Then the second jet hit.
God Bless America.
