It was something we never thought we'd see
It could never happen to you and me

An attack against all civilization
An attack that shocked our nation

Four airliners, all hijacked
A precise and planned attack

Fueled by evil, a merciless crime
The worst terrorist act of all time

The World Trade Center towers
Symbols of our financial power

Crumbling, falling, cascading down
Concrete and debris, hitting the ground

So many families torn apart
A tragedy felt in all of our hearts

If we're ever to overcome this devastation
We must pull together as a nation

To the victims' families, we send our prayers and love
As we seek guidance and hope from the Lord above

May God bless you and your loved ones.

I wish I could be in New York to help. My prayers go out to all the people who have been hurt by this tragedy, all the people in New York, the brave firefighters, policemen, etc..

I just wanted to say, how proud I am of living in America.. How proud I am of the American people, coming together, being strong, yet compassionate. I love my fellow American. This, is why America is the number one choice of all immigrants to flee/immigrate to. (btw, I came here from Vietnam when I was 3, in 1979... 25 years old now)

GOD BLESS AMERICA

P.S. Here's a link of a video off consumptionjunction.com of the palestine's partying.

Hope that summons up some roid rage .. Also, I put that link up there b/c someone added a song to it that basically sums up how I feel. I hope you all like it.

Down here in the South we do what we can (donate money, give blood ect) I went to my church today at lunch. It seems to be so little, we feel so helpless. God's speed to the rescue workers and may they be forever blessed for giving so un-selfishly of themselves. I'm proud to be an American, a father and a member of Anabolic Review, for here in these previous post are the words of true champions. All I can say from across the U.S. is that our prayers are with you all. May God keep in his tender care.

Thank you Party boy and everyone else who is coming out to help or doing whatever they can to assist in dealing with this tradgedy. I work for the fire dept. and I've been there on the bucket brigade, and helping with the removal of bodies, etc. and it's a horrific scene. But you also can't help but notice and appreciate all the hundreds of people, volunteers and otherwise from all different states helping out so unselfishly for long hours in rain, the smoke, the dark. Shows you what people are really made of when it comes down to it. My hat off to everyone who's helped...

**Mr_Lexus** · 09-19-2001, 03:01 PM

I know you all want to help. I've been at ground zero since tuesday. All I can say is to stay home. We already have too many volunteers.

Thanks

Allow me to re write that, If you want to volunteer then by all means come down. Go to The Jacob Javits Center and they will put you to work. If you are a civilian don't think that you will get anywhere near "Ground Zero" Security is very tight.
