I heard a song today, it sent chills through me.
Let me state that hell no I don’t want a war, but this song really does sum it all up for me…so I will let it speak for itself, and for me during this time of so much uncertainty…may we never forget…
Have You Forgotten?
I hear people saying we don’t need this war
I say there’s some things worth fighting for
What about our freedom and this piece of ground?
We didn’t get to keep ’em by backing down
They say we don’t realize the mess we’re getting in
Before you start preaching
Let me ask you this my friend
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn’t worry ’bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
They took all the footage off my T.V.
Said it’s too disturbing for you and me
It’ll just breed anger that’s what the experts say
If it was up to me I’d show it every day
Some say this country’s just out looking for a fight
After 9/11 man I’d have to say that’s right
CHORUS 1
Have you forgotten how it felt that day
To see your homeland under fire
And her people blown away?
Have you forgotten when those towers fell?
We had neighbors still inside
Going through a living hell
And you say we shouldn’t worry ’bout Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
I’ve been there with the soldiers
Who’ve gone away to war
And you can bet they remember
Just what they’re fighting for
CHORUS 2
Have you forgotten all the people killed?
Some went down like heroes in that Pennsylvania field
Have you forgotten about our Pentagon?
All the loved ones that we lost
And those left to carry on
Don’t you tell me not to worry about Bin Laden
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?
Have you forgotten?

  1. Isn’t that sung by Clint Black??? I heard it the other day and I thought they said it was by Clint Black, that handsome hunk of a man!!! Great post!!!

  2. I love this song Teresa. It definitely says it all doesn’t it? And Jamie, it’s not clint black, it’s a fairly new singer whose name escapes me right now. But he did a wonderful job, didn’t he? Oh and I love Clint Black too! LOL

  3. I agree with this song, bin Laden needs to be gotten rid of. I don’t really see the connection between that and this current conflict, however.
    Saddam is not a nice guy by any stretch of the imagination, and possibly he does need to be removed, but I’d much prefer that this was all done under the auspices of the United Nations.
    After Saddam, what next? Maybe France? After all, they defied George Bush. Clearly they are the linchpin of the European Axis of Evil and quite possibly a launching pad for terrorists across the entire face of Europe. Oh, and they have nukes too.
    Raze them to the ground, man!
    Do you see my point?

  6. Interesting article, T. You know, I don’t really buy the reason they have given for the war : Weapons of mass destruction.
    If they had advanced this as the reason for the war and they had hard evidence, I’d have bought in…
