I snagged this photo from this morning's New York Daily News. She is unidentified but it nailed me as an old fart grandfather and former U.S. Marine. Her beautiful face and tears took me back to my younger days when guys of my generation went to war so that war could not be brought to people like her. She lost a parent or close relative at the WTC as a little girl, I just know it.

And the Music that Goes With the Picture


Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountain side
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow
'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow
Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so.

And if you come, when all the flowers are dying
And I am dead, as dead I well may be
You'll come and find the place where I am lying
And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me.

And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me
And all my dreams will warm and sweeter be
If you'll not fail to tell me that you love me
I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

I'll simply sleep in peace until you come to me.

Pain may lessen for us, but it rarely ever fully leaves us. And it has not, this young woman.

CBS' Sunday Morning showed some photos this a.m. of the massive dust cloud overcoming Manhattan. These photos caused me to grab my chest, still.

I was living in Kentucky, in Lexington when this happened. At the time the first plane hit, I was in the post office. The clerk behind the counter said to me, "my God have you heard? An airplane has hit one of the WTC towers in NY."

I rushed home, and turned on the tv to Good Morning America, which had switched its programming to an ABC News Special Report. From a wide angle panned shot, I watched in disbelief as the second plane approached and hit Tower #2. I'll never forget the rolling footage, and the agonizing horror and anguish in Diane Sawyer's voice. She left the studio, like so many other journalists and proceeded to report on the ground from near the Towers' base.

The Pentagon and the field in Pa--watching-- as each unfolded that morning. The worst day in American history. Our worst nightmare, an even greater one to those lost, to their families, and to those on the ground to save lives and to bring the horror to the nation.

Still today, those that would bring harm and death remain among us. As near as 60 miles from my home in a quiet neighborhood, boasting their beliefs with their pages on Facebook.

These seven men were arrested in July after being tracked for over three years by Federal agents. All, with the exception of one, American citizens.

We often realize the angels among us. Its not as easy to recognize the demons. But then, it never has been.............

I have very strong feelings about the tragedys on that day, so it took a while for me to check out the photo. All I can say is I hope we NEVER FORGET!
