Slide 3: 

Dedicated to everyone who assisted anyone in any way or who may have been affected by this tragedy. God bless you all.

Slide 4: 

One day ~ much to our surprise, We couldn’t believe what we saw with our eyes. Some feeling an explosion, responding to cries, Wishing what I was viewing ~ was just a disguise.

Slide 5: 

Once ~ two beautiful ~ statuesque towers, Now disintegrating above, spewing ashes for hours. Loved ones there working, to bring home their pay, Now shattered and dark, messengers ruined this day. Men, and women, and children all around, Looking on with despair, some collapse to the ground.

Slide 6: 

THE FLOORS OF OUR BEAUTIFUL TOWERS, NOW ENGULF ED IN SMOKE AND FLAME . WE’RE VEIWI NG ~ BUT NOT BELIEVING ~ THAT THERE IS SOMEONE TO BLAME .

Slide 7: 

The temperature’s too hot to gauge, Floors burning down like dried up sage. Screaming out windows , victims are now taking dives. Cameras keep us watching, as some take their own lives.

Slide 8: 

Dozens of floors consumed in smoke and flame, How could they do this and be proud to take the blame? Many that are watching look on with disbelief, Then seeing a familiar face, there’s a deep sigh of relief.

Slide 9: 

Big guys, strong guys, someone who’s always there; They may not even know us, but always show they care.

Slide 10: 

The endurance of the men, at “Station 9, Engine 54, Ladder 4”, We admire you, we thank you, and we pray there is no more.
