we fought & we fell .. we crumbled like ashes as skin and bone filled the air .. our blood ran down the streets .. blood shed by hate .. the commencement of war .. where a nation became a neighborhood .. where people found decency, heart, unity .. where our flag was torched and still waved .. we fought & we fell but we rose .. & today we remember the lives lost, the love never told, the calls never made, the chances never took, the lives never lived .. today we remember the innocence, the courage, the lost, the living & the dead .. today we remember the blood shed & what rose from our ashes .. today we remember the 11th of September πΊπΈππ½β€οΈππΌ
