911 NEVER FORGET SEPT 11 2001
Given that President OBAMA is stepping into power on January 20th--I thought a re-release was in order—this issue WILL NOT GO AWAY!
Below are my original words:
7 years ago, this morning, on September, 11, 2001--I sat there, with all of you, as we collectively went through the deepest levels, of National and Personal: -
MourningRage-Screaming-Crying-Shock-Vengence-Hate-Loss-Amazement-Partriotism…we all dealt with it then-and deal with it now—in our own ways. That day and the subsequent years of “fallout” have taken a toll on our Great Nation; for Good, for Bad, and for Ugly.
MAY WE NEVER FORGET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!—-alllllllll of it.
I have created many works of art about September 11th, but this one seems to be the Best one to share with you today; on this anniversary day. May we never forget the thousands who were lost then--and the thousands who are BEING LOST today. And--may our leaders find any way it takes—to stop this running tally.
I truly pray, that this image of mine, will help HEAL our National, Wounded Hearts, and in any small way, help to bring comfort to us all.
And, when I hear folks talking trash about America, I always know this—-they have never seen what I have seen. I always wish I could instantly translate them to perhaps, one of the thousands of flithy tin, or cardboard shelters of Haiti, where many families have to sleep on the ground, in shifts, and fight for anything they might be able to scratch up to eat. And, see the children gathered around the garbage heaps, to find food next to the pigs. Or, mothers washing their babies in stagnant poors, of contaminated runoff waters.
If you don’t like it here-———then PLEASE LEAVE!
I REFUSE TO FORGET 911.
GOD BLESS MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!
I AM STILL PROUD TO BE CALLED AN AMERICAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Excellent work and a moving commentary to go with it. This Canuck is thinking of you all today.
Robin Webster
My heart is still aching to think of the terrible loss that horrible day. Ditto…To quote Jan Piller “Excellent work and a moving commentary to go with it. This Canuck is thinking of you all today”
Kimberly Palmer
Powerful, and emotive…. I will never forget. My husband and I watched from our family room in California, scared out of our minds. My husbands brother worked there, you see, in one of the towers. We didn’t hear until after the towers had collapsed, that he made it out, safely. It was his girlfriend that made the calls to the family, so we didn’t talk to him until later… it was an emotional day for ALL of us. The many lives that were lost, people injured and affected, such a horrible day. WE will never forget…

DALE CRUM
THANK YOU ALLLLL! I keep telling folks-

If, however I wanted to “burn-the-flag” wellllllll-you know the unpatriotic drill! Love it-—-or Leave it! I will just keep right on creating things like this until one fine day-somebody???—with enough $$$ to put this out there WILL.Daniela M. Cas...
Very powerful!
Something should be done by citizens in the world to stop goverments ’s violence against people…
I think you made your statement…
There are lots of looses and deaths all over the world, and a prayer should be say for the whole world…
My condolences to all US citizens today.
We in Latin America also have a tragic day on a September 11th , though only us seem to know….

No we will never forget. I was walking up the driveway that day… it was a beautiful autumn day.. and there was a stillness that felt surreal. My phone rang.. I remember it so well.. and the disbelief and horror and shock was physically tangible… with the weight of that terrible news. We live in the Midwest and my brother-in-law had missed his train to an interview at the twin towers that morning.
Thank you for creating this expressive, patriotic, loyal work honoring those who have suffered and endured.

Thank you Dale! It is very graphic, but I wish that all could see this, and read what you wrote. And I wish that those who do trash our country could have experienced this horrible day, as we did.

All i can say as your neighbours to the north ,we watched that morning from a remote place in northern Canada as we were takeing down our summer camp to head south for the winter ,our hearts were heavy with sadness to see people could do such a thing with so much harm and destruction to other people ,we pray that the land can be healed a go forward and be strong
other people are watching to see how we deal with such turmoil ,and what are strengths are in the face of adversity ,and i must say God Bless America

Great work. God bless.
DALE CRUM
Thank You too ALL who exposed your heart to my art! Yesterday was the first time since 911, that I ‘revisited’ that hurricane of emotions, as I read your personal perspectives on it, followed by the History Channel’s special presentation of nothing but the raw and actual footage and sounds of 911 EYE WITNESSES-
-if you missed this-you reallllly missed it. I was ripped straight through my soul AGAIN! Please do yourself an American deed, an see if that program is on line.-May we continue to live this “FREE” American Dream
and always be Aware and Thankful for the PRICE OF OUR FREEDOM paid then--and everyday in the burning sands where our Sons and Daughters fight. May they SOON sleep in their own beds back on our precious soil. And Until that day-Please join me in Prayer-Lord, please surround ALL of our children both here and there, with your Mighty arms of protection, and Winged Armies from above-Keep our shores safe from harm, and purge out any, and all who are working to destroy this blessed country. May we all remember, that it is by your Grace that we were born in this precious land of Freedom, and help us to hold our Flag up high, as a beacon of hope to this hurting world. Have mercy on our land, as we look toward an election--please put Your Man in power-and remind him he has NONE—unless he has YOU at his side. In Jesus name, Amen.micmac
