Letter: A proud recovery

WEEKEND EDITION

September 11 - 12, 2004

On September 11 in the early morning

hours,

Two large jets flew into the twin trade

towers,

Causing a mass destruction, as we

watched in disbelief,

Killing thousands of loved ones, and

causing so much grief.

As the bodies lay crumbled beneath the

rubble that day,

Who could ever imagine that anything

could happen that way.

The freedom we love, and so many desire,

Was severely shattered within one short

hour.

Our country was built while shedding

blood, sweat and tears,

And we will rebuild it again in the next

few years,

Because we are Americans, and we're

still proud to say,

It sure is great living in the USA.
