My granddaughter Stormy Peterson, shared her feelings about that terrorists event.

DoN't FoRgEt To ReMeMbEr...
i wrote this poem January 4, 2002 a couple months after the attack...it still hurts just as much today as it did then...never ever forget.
in order to write i need to feel emotions
my mind is in a jumble rolling like the ocean
i need to get these feelings out but where do i start
just give me a minute and listen to my heart
just a few months now that it's been since the attack
some losers went stupid and stabbed america in the back
i have wanted to cry and i've wanted to shout
i've never had so much pain screamin to get out
babies lost their daddies and husbands lost their wives
i've been watchin all the news and i've heard the people's cries
the sadness and the pain that america's endured
hit me deep in my heart and even now it still hurts
i cannot even contemplate being on those planes
or bein trapped in a building that was goin up in flames
but why did it have to happen everyone wants to know
osama thinks he did what's right cause allah told him so
but bin laden had his story wrong he made allah look bad
he's just a coldhearted coward who's mind has gone mad
but we the people are stronger than that and we won't run and hide
we've faced the terrorism head on because they can't kill our pride
we will keep on working and we'll keep waving our flag
sand we'll keep on flying even if they check our bags
we'll never run by a brother who's lying on the ground
we'll always lend a helping hand when somebody falls down
that is why our country's great we live in brotherhood
freedom and liberty under god are what make our lives so good
everyday i stand up tall and recite my pledge aloud
i'll stand up for my country, i'm american and i'm proud
