                           GOD BLESS THE USA

  Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the 
following poem, ``God Bless the USA,'' written by Ms. Debbie Rogers of 
Danville, AR, be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the poem was ordered to be printed in the 
Record, as follows:

                           God Bless the USA

       Twin Towers once stood regally, but Majestic in the sky,
       Pure evil took them down today, Americans stand and cry.
       Two planes marked for death, As the world observes them 
     crash,
       Once Titanic against the skyline, now scattered in debris 
     and ash.
       Four planes all together, carrying innocent lives on each 
     one,
       Leaving disbelief and carnage, when the Hellish Butchers 
     were done.
       There was no kind of warning, no message did they send,
       And total devastation, is so hard to comprehend.
       Emergency Crews work frantically, keeping hope always 
     alive,
       They dig with bleeding hands, Praying someone does survive.
       Thousands hurt and missing, death lingers in the air,
       Families in such torment, the world mourns in deep despair.
       Our whole world has been disrupted, As we watch the 
     Breaking News,
       Praying they find survivors, and all the missing clues.
       We need closure for the Families, and Justice for Us all,
       We'll deal with this catastrophe, As Americans we stand 
     tall.
       We're proud to be Americans, We won't take this without a 
     fight,
       We won't cease in determination, till this wrong is made a 
     right.
       We'll rise above the smoke and ash, remembrance in Our 
     heart,
       Of all the innocent Families, these Monsters tore apart.
       Now vengeance seems to call, like a beacon in the night,
       God forgive Our thoughts, two wrongs don't make a right.
       But we'll stand on Honor and Justice, there'll be a 
     reckoning day,
       This deed won't go unpunished, God Bless The U.S.A.
