One Nation...Under God...United We Stand.

The Power of "ONE"

As the soot and dirt and ash rained down,
 We became one color.
As we carried each other down the stairs of the
burning building
 We became one class.
As we lit candles of waiting and hope
 We became one generation.
As the firefighters and police officers fought their
way into the inferno
 We became one gender.
As we fell to our knees in prayer for strength,
 We became one faith.
As we whispered or shouted words of encouragement,
 We spoke one language.
As we gave our blood in lines a mile long,
 We became one body.
As we mourned together the great loss
  We became one family.
As we cried tears of grief and loss
 We became one soul.
As we retell with pride of the sacrifice of heroes
 We become one people.

We  are
 One color
 One  class
 One generation
 One  gender
 One faith
 One  language
 One body
 One  family
 One soul
 One people

We are The Power of One.
We are United.

We are America!

I pledge Allegiance

To the Flag

Of the United States Of America

And To The Republic

For Which It Stands

One Nation

Under God

Indivisible

With Liberty

And Justice

For All.

From all of us at Pacific Northwest Properties: "We wish to express our heartfelt prayers and hopes for those lost in the WTC and Pentagon attacks. Our heartfelt thanks and prayers also go out to the families and heroes on the flight that went down "fighting" over the skies of Pennsylvania. You fought not only for your own lives, you also saved and fought for untold lives that may have been lost were it not for your heroic acts against the terrorists that awful day.

You are gone...but not forgotten! May God Keep You In His Hands...

September 11, 2001.  May their souls rest in peace.
