United 93

We just came back from seeing the movie United 93 (our first movie this year!-The kids are at my parents for the week b/c Pete & I are leaving for a short vacation to Toronto Thurs). It was very touching and a good reminder of what happened on September 11, 2001. Defintely a movie I would recommend. On my drive home, the song "God Bless the USA' by Lee Greenwood came on, very fitting to the end of my day!

If tomorrow all the things were gone

I'd worked for all my life,

And I had to start again

with just my children and my wife,

I'd thank my lucky stars

to be living here today,'

Cause the flag still stands for freedom

and they can't take that away.

I'm proud to be an American

where at least I know I'm free,

And I won't forget the men who died

who gave that right to me,

And I gladly stand up next to you

and defend her still today,

'Cause there ain't no doubt

I love this land

God Bless the U.S.A.

From the lakes of Minnesota

to the hills of Tennessee,

Across the plains of Texas

from sea to shining sea.

From Detroit down to

Houston and New York to L.A.,

There's pride in every American heart

and it's time we stand and say:

I'm proud to be an American

where at least I know I'm free,

And I won't forget the men

who died who gave that right to me,

And I gladly stand up next to you

and defend her still today,

'Cause there ain't no doubt

I love this land

God Bless the U.S.A
