  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I would like to submit the

                         United Through It All

                   (By Mike Allen and Randall Bayne)

     On an island in the harbor,
     Lady Liberty's darkest day,
     Terror rose against our land.
     Evil had its way.

     We witnessed two strong towers
     As they came crashing down,
     Innocent lives were sacrificed
     In rubble on the ground.

     We stood in awe, in disbelief,
     Souls of thousands fell.
     In the horror of the picture,
     In the midst of this hell.

     We bound our sprits in resolve
     To answer freedoms call.
     This is America,
     We'll rise above it all.
     We're united in our victory,
     United in our cause.
     We'll stand against all enemies,
     Liberty has no walls.

     We're stronger than those towers,
     This country will not fall.
     We are Americans,
     United through it all.

     We'll bind our wounded.
     Grieve for those who died.
     Praise the heroes' efforts.
     And sing out with pride,

     ``America, America
     God shed his grace on thee,
     And crown thy good
     With brotherhood.''

     For we're united in our victory,
     United in our cause.
     We'll stand against all enemies,
     Liberty has no walls.
     We're stronger than those towers,
     This country will not fall.
     We are Americans,
     United through it all.
