Joint Memorial and Tribute

 Nine Eleven ~ Columbia

Let

"The Trumpet"

Sound

It hath been said, from dust to dust

and we salute

"The Brave, The Dead, The True"

of

"Nine Eleven" Too

so let

"The Trumpet Sound"

and

Let "The Bell of Freedom" Toll

The clear blue sky, where Eagles fly

and then, a burst of flame

No! Oh No! Columbia !!!

The Challenger

To Join

Mid grief and tears

we do

Salute !!!

"The Brave, The Dead, The True"

 Man's horizon to expand,

For now they know

The Great

"I AM" *

So let us draw,

From "Well of Living Water" pure,

Let's give

Praise and humble thanks

for heroes that survive,

and live

to lead again

We beseech for wisdom wise

to guard our land

and

Peace with Justice, Mercy too!

for

All Mankind

*I AM: Exodus, third chapter - Old Testament.
