First it was the New York towers
And also a field in Pa.
Another hit The Pentagon
In my home state of Va.
Taken away all too sudden
Were precious human souls
Taken without any provocation
By cowards with evil goals
Thankless men and women
Who came hurriedly to offer aid
That could have turned and run
Instead those heroes sacrificed and stayed
May God bless those that helped
And may God bless their families
They symbolized the courage of America
From her mountains to her shining seas
