On Wednesday, September 11, 2002
everyone in the USA who will be driving a motor vehicle is asked to
drive with their headlights on during daylight hours.
On that day, please wear red, white and blue to work or school to show your support
for those who lost their lives on 9~11~01 and to honor the heroes
who worked to save them and the families left behind.
At noon (your time) on September 11, 2002,
no matter where you are or what you are doing,
stop, put your hand on your heart, and say the Pledge of Allegiance
out loud or to yourself and say a prayer for our nation.
If all of us do this together in every time zone around the world,
we will have a powerful chain of thoughts surrounding us.
Though no explanation is needed as to why we are commemorating
September 11.........................we hope more importantly to pay
respect to the victims of that day, show our nation's
solidarity and show support for our men and women of the Armed Forces.
These pages are designated as a tribute for my adopted POW/MIA'S, a memorial to my cousin SGT. Terry E. Williams and to all those lost on Sept. 11, 2001.
"Isaiah 40:31
But those who wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They shall mount up with wings like
eagles,
They shall run and not be weary,
They shall walk and not faint.
"If Tomorrow Never Comes"
If I knew it would be the last time that I'd see you fall asleep, I
would tuck you in more tightly and pray the Lord, your soul to keep.
If I knew it would be the last time that I see you walk out the door, I would give you a hug and kiss and call you back for one more.
If I knew it would be the last time I'd hear your voice lifted up in praise, I would video tape each action and word, so I could play them back day after day.
If I knew it would be the last time, I could spare an extra minute or two to stop and say "I love you," instead of assuming you would KNOW I do.
If I knew it would be the last time I would be there to share
your day, well I'm sure you'll have so many more, so I can let just this one slip away. For surely there's always tomorrow to make up for an oversight, and we always get a second chance to make everything right. There will always be another day to say our "I love you's", And certainly there's another chance to say our "Anything I can do's?" But just in case I might be wrong, and today is all I get, I'd like to say how much I love you and I hope we never forget, Tomorrow is not promised to anyone, young or old alike, And today may be the last chance you get to hold your loved one tight.. So if you're waiting for tomorrow, why not do it today?
For if tomorrow never comes, you'll surely regret the day, That you didn't take that extra time for a smile, a hug, or a kiss and you were too busy to grant someone, what turned out to be their one last wish. So hold your loved ones close today, whisper in their ear, Tell
them how much you love them and that you'll always hold them dear,
Take time to say "I'm sorry," "please forgive me," "thank you" or "it's okay". And if tomorrow never comes, you'll have no regrets about today
