Hello James,

"Pls make this a post," you told me.

Well, I did.

The sheep and the sheepdogs bit didn't make it in there. I felt like that is a whole 'nother article in and of itself. When the Muses speak, you gotta listen!

Instead, I give you a tale of a Marine and an Alabama National Guardsmen that happened 11 years apart, but are bonded by the terrible events of this day.

This tale is true, and happened to all the participants across space and time.

Without further ado, I give you:

"Where My Heart Goes: Remembering 9/11 in A World Gone Mad".

And for a bonus, here are some words penned by my dearly beloved and departed Mother many years ago to rally the Spirits of the People after a deadly disaster.

You have, of course, lived the results of this disaster yourself, and you have seen firsthand their effects. They've provided you much grist for the writing mill, and have put the Harm in Harm City.

So as a special bonus, I give you a message from my dearly beloved Mother from beyond the grave...

"From the Vault: A Message For America, 2012 AD"

Her Spirit lives on immortal in her words.

And while you two are as different as can be, her advice sounds a lot like yours...

Sincerely,

Richard Barrett
