"In support of the war: Have you forgotten?."


Darryl Worley
"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

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

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 that they remember
Just what they're fighting for

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?

I've been hearing this country song on the radio a lot lately. I guess it's climbing the charts rather rapidly, especially considering the war the United States in in right now... (You can listen to it here at Dreamworks Nashville).... or purchase it here.

Is this war just? Is it wrong? That's for you to determine.... This is a free country afterall. As for me though, I support this war. We've backed down before when we should have stood our ground and done away with the injustice. Now it's time that we finish what we started back in the Gulf War. The real shame is that we waited this long to do it.

My thoughts and prayers are with our troops over in the desert. I'm not thrilled that they have to be there, but I'm behind them while they are. God speed. May they come back safely, and if some do have to give their lives in Operation Iraqi Freedom, may they not be forgotten.

Pray for our troops, and pray that Saddam's tyranical regime is thoroughly dismantled.

In support of our troops,

Your blogging friend,
-Jon
