Please Read! "To Kill an American"
This was shared with me by my sister-in-law and I wanted to share it with you all...
You probably missed this in the rush of news, but there was actually a report that someone in Pakistan had published in a newspaper, an offer of a reward to anyone who killed an American, any American.
So an Australian dentist wrote an editorial the following day to let everyone know what an American is . So they would know when they found one. (Good one, mate!!!!)
'An American is English, or French, or Italian, Irish, German, Spanish, Polish, Russian or Greek. An American may also be Canadian, Mexican, African, Indian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Australian, Iranian, Asian, or Arab, or Pakistani or Afghan.
An American m ay also be a Comanche, Cherokee, Osage, Blackfoot, Navaho, Apache, Seminole or one of the many other tribes known as native Americans.
An American is Christian, or he could be Jewish, or Buddhist, or Muslim. In fact, there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan.The only difference is that in America they are free to worship as each of them chooses.
An American is also free to believe in no religion. For that he will answer only to God, not to the government, or to armed thugs cla iming to speak for the government and for God.
An American lives in the most prosperous land in the history of the world.
The root of that prosperity can be found in the Declaration of Independence , which recognizes the God given right of each person to the pursuit of happiness.
An American is generous. Americans have helped o ut just about every other nation in the world in their time of need, never asking a thing in return.
When Afghanistan was over-run by the Soviet army 20 years ago, Americans came with arms and supplies to enable the people to win back their country!
As of the morning of September 11, Americans had given more than any other nation to the poor in Afghanistan Americans welcome the best of everything...the best products, the best books, the best music, the best food, the best services. But they also welcome the least.
The national symbol of America , The Statue of Liberty , welcomes your tired and your poor, the wretched refuse of your teeming shores, the homeless, tempest tossed. These in fact are the people who built America
Some of them were working in the Twin Towers the morning of September 11 , 2001 earning a better life for their families. It's been told that the World Trade Center victims were from at least 30 different countries, cultures, and first languages, including those that aided and abetted the terrorists.
So you can try to kill an American if you must Hitler did. So did General Tojo, and Stalin, and Mao Tse-Tung, and other blood-thirsty tyrants in the world. But, in doing so you would just be killing yourself . Because Americans are not a particular people from a particular place. They are the embodiment of the human spirit of freedom. Everyone who holds to that spirit, everywhere, is an American.
"For One and All" was the first song I ever wrote and was a response to the tragedy of 9-11 and all the outpouring of love and support that was shown at that time.
Lyrics
For One and All
September 11, 2001
I woke up to a nightmare
The world we knew was gone
I saw the eagle of freedom
Fall from the sky
Burst into flames
But I know it did not die
Chorus:
Hold your head up
Hands on hearts
Flags unfurled
God bless the USA
And God bless this world
United we will stand
To share a common call
This threat to freedom must be stopped
For One and All
Like the phoenix from the ashes
We shall rise again
The world will be a better place
For freedom in the end
This tragedy will make us stronger
As strong as all our pain
And well know our loved ones
Did not die in vain
Repeat Chorus
Freedoms spirit fills the air
Well only bow our heads in prayer
In spite of wounds and through our tears
We refuse to live in fear
Repeat Chorus
For One and All
