I am a U.S. Army Veteran 2/71 - 12/72 and full time Police Officer from 7/76 - 4/95. |
September eleventh two thousand one
The whole world got to see
The towering twins of New York State
Fall so helplessly
They both were struck, by suicide jets
On a mission to destroy
The spirit of America
And freedoms we enjoy
Then a third jet struck our Pentagon
While a fourth jet couldn't go
Beyond the Pennsylvania trees
'Cause of heroes, we now know
So with vengeance left to be the Lord's
One thing still applies...
Freedom just might cost your life
But freedom never dies!

A
is for the Attitudes
that conquer any quest
M
is for the Multitudes
who know just why they're blessed
E
pluribus unum
from sea to shining sea
R
for all the Riches found
where everyone is free
I
for Individuals
who sacrifice their all
C
because ourChristian faith
has answered every call, so one more
A
for Attitudes
That live inside of us,
God has blessed America
Cause God is who we trust
GOD BLESS AMERICA!

I wanted to be a champion
To quench my winning thirst,
But I could never get beyond
Second place to first.
Winning just eluded me
In every single quest,
Though working hard and practicing
To try and be the best.
Then I went above it all
To find out what succeeds
And there I found the winning edge
That every champion needs;
Faith to get the victory
And faith to know within
Champions always keep the faith.
The faithful always win!
