CLIMB HIGHER

(A tribute to New York City Firefighters)

"Keep on Climbing", says the Captain, "Up through the smoke and smell."
"Keep on climbing", says the Captain, "I think I heard somebody yell!"
"Keep on climbing", says the Captain, "Alive or dead, not ours to tell."

"Keep on climbing", calls the Captain, "Forget about your pain!"
Keep on climbing ", shouts the Captain, "We have a few more floors to gain."
"Keep on climbing", yells the Captain, "We will bring them down again!"

"Keep on climbing", cries the Captain, "If I can, so can you!"
"Keep on climbing", orders the Captain, "Right now I need your best from you!"

"Keep on climbing", screams the Captain, "Forget about those sounds!"
"It's just some girders twisting and some concrete falling down."

"Keep on climbing", whispers the Captain, "Climb right up to that light!"
"Right up to that sunshine, No smoke to smell, no fire to fight!"

"Keep on climbing", sings the Captain, "That Angel's hand will lead the way!"
"Rest boys", sighs the Captain, "You did your job, today!"

"Keep on climbing", prays Our Captain, "Eyes raised, headed for the top."
"And when you're tired, and feel like quiting,
Remember them, they didn't stop!"

And you can bet that the 700 combat ready Marines that get delivered to anywhere will not have forgotten!
That's a big grey can of asswhoopin!!

I watched a show on cable about what was done with the leftover steel from the trade centers. I think the show also said that alot of the steel went to Japan.

A lot of it was sold to Chinese industries. Some of it was through the unconscionable actions of one of the clean-up contractor firms.

My car was parked at the parking lot surrounding St. Nicholas' Greek Orthodox Church, on September 11, 2001. If you know the area, I don't have to explain any further. I hope to God that what was left of it stayed in the United States.

I am both proud, and grateful to be an AMERICAN!
