Thank you for that Country Wolf. Here are the lyrics from the song Alan Jackson wrote about that day. We will always remember. My church is having a memorial service this evening and I imagine there will be many across the country.

"Where Were You (When The World Stopped Turning)"

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Out in the yard with your wife and children
Working on some stage in LA
Did you stand there in shock at the site of
That black smoke rising against that blue sky
Did you shout out in anger
In fear for your neighbor
Or did you just sit down and cry

Did you weep for the children
Who lost their dear loved ones
And pray for the ones who don't know
Did you rejoice for the people who walked from the rubble
And sob for the ones left below

Did you burst out in pride
For the red white and blue
The heroes who died just doing what they do
Did you look up to heaven for some kind of answer
And look at yourself to what really matters

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day
Teaching a class full of innocent children
Driving down some cold interstate
Did you feel guilty cause you're a survivor
In a crowded room did you feel alone
Did you call up your mother and tell her you love her
Did you dust off that bible at home
Did you open your eyes and hope it never happened
Close your eyes and not go to sleep
Did you notice the sunset the first time in ages
Speak with some stranger on the street
Did you lay down at night and think of tomorrow
Go out and buy you a gun
Did you turn off that violent old movie you're watching
And turn on "I Love Lucy" reruns
Did you go to a church and hold hands with some stranger
Stand in line and give your own blood
Did you just stay home and cling tight to your family
Thank God you had somebody to love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

I'm just a singer of simple songs
I'm not a real political man
I watch CNN but I'm not sure I can tell you
The difference in Iraq and Iran
But I know Jesus and I talk to God
And I remember this from when I was young
Faith hope and love are some good things he gave us
And the greatest is love

The greatest is love
The greatest is love

Where were you when the world stopped turning that September day

The Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception here in Ft Wayne is having a mass at noon today.

I heard Mark McGwinn's song about 9/11 this morning...it's pretty good...it's on his new CD.

Please keep them in your thoughts...

ALWAYS REMEMBER!

Visited New York in the December after 9/11 and will always remember the welcome we received. We will never forget.........

God Bless America. God Bless you all.

I was living in Italy when it happened. I will never forget that day.
My mom called me at work and told me to turn on a TV or radio.
It was 3 in the afternoon there. I cried and cried.
I was born in NY and have lived there for 6 years before going to Italy.
My cousins were stranded downtown for days and we were so worried.
We finally got news that they were ok.
Today as I was driving to work I saw the most beautiful thing.
The local fire dept. had erected a flag above the road I was driving on.
The used two fire trucks and had the ladders up in a like this / \ above the road with a huge american flag hanging in bwtween like this /-\ .
I cried while I drove by.

[Maya & Inka's mommy]

My tv was on CNN, when suddenly I heard the tone for "Breaking news"... . I saw it all happen......
I will never ever forget this, I was so chocked....

It's still so fresh in my mind, hard to believe it's been 5 whole years. A very somber anniversary.
