September 11th opens a flood of emotions and memories for me. As I have reflected on the significance of this day, my heart mourns for the great loss that our nation suffered, and continues to suffer, due to the tragic events of that fateful day. As our country remains engaged in war, in a state of political unrest, and plagued by economic frailty, I choose to believe that America stands on the shoulders of a noble legacy laid by our forefathers; I choose to trust that the greatness of the United States will flourish and endure. I am grateful for all the men and women who sacrifice so much to ensure that I can live in the "land of the free and the home of the brave."
On September 11, 2001, I penned the words to the song below. A few days later, my friend and I wrote "Bring Us Peace."
