FAMILIAR SIGHTS OF SOLDIERS GUARDING HUDSON RIVER CROSSINGS BECOME A COMMON PLACE

IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS AND WE STILL REMEMBER THOSE WHO BRAVELY ENTERED TOWERS OF TERROR TO RESCUE PEOPLE WHO WERE

SACRED

FORGOTTEN

HOPELESS

THEY ENTERED NOT BECAUSE THEY HAD TO

BECAUSE THEY HAD THE WANT TO

THE HUMAN SPIRIT FLOURISHED

AND WE SAW GOD IN THOSE WHO

GAVE A HUG

A DRINK OF COLD WATER

WIPED THE ASH AWAY THAT WAS CAKED ON A BROTHER OR SISTER

SACRIFICED

IT HAS BEEN 10 YEARS AND WE REMEMBER

MAY WE NEVER FORGET NOT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO

BUT BECAUSE WE WANT TO
